On April 11 and 12, 2024, representatives of various ministries and organizations in Suriname met to discuss the cost determination of adaptation measures for climate change in the context of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP).
During the two-day meeting, organized by the Ministry of Spatial Planning and the Environment (ROM), a methodology specifically designed for the Surinamese context was discussed. The focus was on distinguishing activities that are necessary to directly adapt to the consequences of climate change from activities that are already ‘business as usual’.

Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy Thoriq Ibrahim has emphasised the necessity of engaging in global conversations and concerted endeavours to tackle the adverse effects of climate change. The remarks were made by the minister during the discussions held by the Coalition of Low-Lying Atoll Nations on Climate Change (CANCC).
CANCC initiated vital discussions in collaboration with five nations, aiming to enhance the National Adaptation Plan of the CANCC members.
Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy has commenced a three-day peer-to-peer learning workshop for the Coalition of Low-Lying Atoll Nations on Climate Change (CANCC).
The workshop aims to delve into how atoll nations are fortifying their resilience to climate change through national adaptation plan (NAP) processes, with a specific focus on amplifying coastal adaptation strategies. Set to occur from 1st to 3rd May in Bandos Maldives, the event will include study visits to key locations such as the capital Male’, Hulhumale’, and Maafushi, generously supported by the NAP Global Network.
It was Bangladesh’s turn to host the National Adaptation Plan Expo 2024, an event which promotes an exchange of experiences and fosters partnerships among a wide range of actors and stakeholders on how to advance national adaptation plans.
Orville Grey, the head of secretariat at NAP Global Network, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), was present at the NAP Global Network stall in the hall room. Over 20 such stalls by different NGOs and ministries of Bangladesh were also showcasing their best climate-driven projects and success stories there.
ICAD’s Executive Director, Gift Maloya, made the statement during the launch and dissemination workshop on mainstreaming human mobility into Malawi’s National Adaptation Plan Process in Lilongwe on Thursday.
Maloya highlighted the urgency of the briefing note, stating, “ICAD’s briefing note comes at the right time when Malawi continues to experience extreme climate events and shocks that have significantly affected human settlements and livelihoods in the country.”
Droughts, changing rainfall patterns, floods, heat waves and extreme frosting are among the common challenges affecting the world, particularly in developing countries due to climate change.
The cross-cutting call for creating synergies, collaboration, climate green financing, adaptation, and action at a local level is critical as the developing world seeks to reduce the impact of climate change.
Addressing these challenges, decision makers from more than a dozen of countries are meeting in Victoria Falls under the “Peer Learning Forum” with a focus on transitioning from planning to implementation in National Adaptation Plan processes.
Policy makers and climate experts drawn from 15 countries across the globe descended on Victoria Falls to share experiences and create synergies on how they can adapt to climate change as well as build resilience within their communities to minimize the effects of the global phenomenon.
The peer learning forum whose theme was, “Transitioning from Planning to Implementation in the National Adaptation Plan Process” was hosted by the National Adaptation Plan Global Network in collaboration with the Government of Zimbabwe to promote peer-to-peer learning on how countries can finance and take action on the priorities set out in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).
In interviews, the participants said they were excited at the knowledge-sharing experience adding that countries could no longer afford not to share information on various strategies that they were putting in place to adapt to the effects of climate change.
The Ministry of Environment, Climate, and Wildlife is hosting a global peer learning forum in Victoria Falls from 27 to 29 February to assess the progress of national adaptation plan (NAP) implementation.
The event, co-hosted by the NAP Global Network and the Government of Zimbabwe with financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, brings together delegates and development partners from across the globe. The objectives of the event include reviewing the status of necessary conditions for implementing adaptation priorities, identifying gaps, and strategizing on project development to meet these priorities efficiently.
As the world grapples with the escalating challenges of climate change, the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife and the NAP Global Network, with the financial support of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, co-host a workshop to share experiences on national efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change. At the heart of this initiative is a clear objective: to evaluate and enhance the country’s readiness for implementing adaptation measures that are not only sustainable but also inclusive.
The gathering in Victoria Falls is not just another meeting. It is a critical juncture for stakeholders from across the globe to come together, share insights, and chart a comprehensive roadmap for national climate change adaptation efforts.
