The Republic of Suriname’s First National Adaptation Plan Progress Report

This national adaptation plan (NAP) progress report outlines Suriname’s achievements and challenges in climate change adaptation efforts from 2020 to 2024. Covering the first 3.5 years of NAP implementation since its submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the report supports policy-makers in understanding ongoing adaptation activities and identifies areas for improvement.

For this first review of NAP implementation in the country, progress was assessed using Suriname’s monitoring and evaluation framework, by comparing actual progress against anticipated outcomes via key performance indicators in the priority sectors for the first phase (i.e. near term). Information for this progress report was collected through simplified questionnaires, focus group meetings, interviews, and a validation workshop. This progress report also includes recommendations for each sector to enhance future efforts as well as a list of stakeholder needs.
