Adaptation to climate change fosters resilient communities, economies, and ecosystems by considering climate risks in decision making at all levels. National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes must take into account differing backgrounds, genders, and socio-economic realities to be effective.
With the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP 26) around the corner in November, several countries are already engaging stakeholders in shaping the ADCOM. Burkina Faso, Eswatini, Ghana, Haiti, and Nigeria have all held inception meetings that aimed to launch the process and build capacities.

Happening today, the Launch Ceremony of the National Dialogue on Linking Gender and Climate Change in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, will bring together 65 experts from sector ministries, civil society organizations, and non-governmental organizations (NGO) to improve the systematic integration of climate change and gender equality into the country’s development planning.

Cette année, le réseau mondial NAP a procédé à un examen des rapports d’avancement disponibles sur le NAP. Les résultats indiquent que les rapports diffèrent en termes d’objectifs énoncés, d’approches pour évaluer les progrès réalisés et de la façon dont les résultats sont présentés et communiqués. Nous voyons que le processus d’élaboration des rapports d’avancement des PAN présente de nombreux défis ainsi que de nombreuses opportunités pour renforcer les processus PAN.

This year, the NAP Global Network conducted a review of the available NAP progress reports. The results indicate that the reports differ in terms of the stated objectives, the approaches to evaluating the progress made, and the way the results are presented and communicated. We see that the process of developing NAP progress reports presents many challenges as well as many opportunities to strengthen NAP processes.
