Albania’s National Adaptation Plan Second Progress Report

The implementation of Albania’s national adaptation plan (NAP) has entered a more mature and structured phase, marked by substantive progress in institutional coordination, technical capacity, and integration of adaptation into national and local planning processes.

This second progress report reviews Albania’s progress in implementing its NAP during the 2023 to 2025 period. It supports policy-makers and stakeholders in assessing the country’s ongoing efforts to adapt to climate change, highlighting progress made, lessons learned, and outstanding gaps that need to be addressed to strengthen resilience. The assessment builds on the first review (2019 to 2023) and provides input for the forthcoming revision of the NAP.

As climate impacts intensify and global processes advance—particularly with the increased focus on adaptation at COP30—Albania has the opportunity to position itself as a regional leader in resilience planning. The updated NAP will play a central role in guiding this transition.
