L’atelier de vulgarisation du plan national d’adaptation (PNA) du Bénin a eu lieu le 1er avril, 2022 à Parakou, Borgou. Les participants ont appris à connaître le processus de PNA et à soumettre un projet d’adaptation pour financement.
Over the past few decades, the Republic of Marshall Islands has made a concerted effort to advance gender equality and human rights across institutions and sectors. Last year, members of World Resources Institute and NAP Global Network helped identify the strengths and challenges of RMI’s climate policies and put forward a set of recommendations to inform the enhancement of RMI’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), National Adaptation Plan (NAP) as well as overall climate action in the country.
“Scaling up adaptation is important for the many countries – especially countries in the Small Island Developing State and Least Developed Country groups – that have contributed the least to global greenhouse gas emissions but are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change,” said Anne Hammill, IISD’s senior director of the resilience program.
“La ampliación de la adaptación es importante para muchos países, especialmente los de los grupos de Pequeños Estados Insulares en Desarrollo (Peid) y Países Menos Adelantados (PMA), que son los que menos han contribuido a las emisiones mundiales de gases de efecto invernadero, pero los más vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático”, dijo Anne Hammill, directora principal del programa de resiliencia del IISD.
NAP Trends, an initiative of the NAP Global Network, aims to share key information on NAPs to make it easy to access for the adaptation community. The platform provides concise summaries of key information in NAP documents, as well as analysis of trends across countries. It is based on systematic reviews of NAP documents submitted to NAP Central, the portal for NAPs communicated to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Speaking in an interview, Climate Change Management Department Director Washington Zhakata said the AdCom reflects on what is transpiring, while at the same time giving a picture of the country’s plans in the fight against climate change. “Zimbabwe, through the NAP Global Network, is in the process of developing its first Adaptation Communication to the UNFCCC. The communication is a summary of what is being done and planned towards adapting to climate change. So tomorrow’s (today) meeting is aimed at validating the communication document,” said Zhakata.
Liberia has launched its National Adaption Plan (NAP) which is intended to help Liberia tackle the issue of climate change through a sound adaptation programme that involves a whole-of-society approach to achieve the goals, vision, and specific objectives.
Vietnam’s recent efforts to respond to climate change are reflected in the NDC, the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan, medium and long-term socio-economic development plans and programs and strategies to 2030, with a vision to 2045 of ministries, branches and localities.
The Government of Liberia through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in partnership with the National Adaptation Plan Global Network, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and with funding from the Green Climate Fund, launched, on December 8, 2021, Liberia’s National Adaption Plan (NAP) and Adaptation Communication (AdCom).

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and partners such as the NAP Global Network have developed Liberia’s first Adaptation Communication to confront threats and related impacts of climate change.
Countries vary in their ability to develop national adaptation plans (NAPs) under the UNFCCC, given the capacity gap between developed and developing countries. This challenge was the focus of several side events during the Glasgow Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 26), which concluded on 13 November 2021.
An 8 November event on Adaptation: From Planning to Action sought to share lessons learned by countries developing their NAPs. New funding from donor countries to facilitate and build capacity for NAP planning and implementation was also announced.
