Technical guidelines for the national adaptation plan process

As formulated by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC in 2010, the NAP process aims to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of developing countries to the impacts of climate change, and to facilitate integration of climate change adaptation into relevant new and existing policies.

Developed by the Least Developed Countries Experts Group (LEG) at the request of the COP, the Technical guidelines for the national adaptation plan process provide comprehensive guidance on the NAP process and each of its elements. The guidelines are intended to reflect the non-prescriptive, country-specific nature of the NAP process.
