“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.

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.
