Seven Principles for Effective Civil Society Engagement in National Adaptation Plan Processes
From its establishment in 2010, the national adaptation plan (NAP) process was envisioned as participatory. It is well understood that adaptation requires a whole-of-society approach and that the NAP process is an opportunity to bring the pieces together to achieve this. Engagement is an important enabler for the NAP process, helping to ensure that adaptation decision making is informed by diverse perspectives and that the priorities identified are robust and equitable. Civil society actors […]

How Countries Are Advancing Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Across Their National Adaptation Plan Processes
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems are a core component of both the national adaptation plan (NAP) process and the NAP document. They are designed to assess whether adaptation strategies are achieving their intended outcomes, to understand how and for whom they are effective, and to inform adjustments based on evidence. Essentially, MEL systems generate insights on what works, what does not, and why, […]

Adapting to the impacts of climate change demands significant shifts in attitudes, behaviours, and practices, both among those directly affected and among policy and decision-makers. For instance, farmers may need to transition away from cultivating crops that are highly sensitive to climate hazards. At the same time, policy-makers must systematically integrate climate change adaptation […]
