The quality and effectiveness of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process largely depends on the extent to which it represents the realities of climate change at local levels and supports their adaptation efforts. The objective of this briefing note is to reflect on the experiences of several countries with vertical integration.
by Anne Hammill and Christian Ledwell, NAP Global Network Secretariat
The NAP Global Network Secretariat is currently supporting 19 country partners prepare adaptation communications under the UNFCCC and these are the most common questions that have emerged from this work.
At the NAP Global Network Secretariat, we are often asked—by a range of actors—to explain what the NAP process is and why it’s important. In this session, we answer a few of the common questions that we hear.
COUNTRY CASE STUDY: Sri Lanka
This case study is part of a series of briefs focusing on alignment of country efforts under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
This sNAPshot policy brief introduces the topic of strategic communications to support National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes.
This briefing note provides a summary of the main points of a technical report that proposes the framework of a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) system for Liberia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2020–2030.
With practical entry points and country case studies, this technical brief reviews the interconnections between biodiversity and climate change adaptation and explores the potential to foster synergies between the processes to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans and National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans.
Assessing collective progress on adaptation at the international level
This brief seeks to demystify the Global Stocktake process under the Paris Agreement and explain how it can strengthen adaptation ambition at the global level.
This case study discusses how the Timor-Leste government has adopted Ecosystem-based adaptation as a guiding principle in its NAP process to connect ecosystem protection and climate action. It will also share lessons for other countries seeking to use the NAP process to mainstream and implement EbA.
Country Brief
Fiji is using its national adaptation planning efforts to scale up and make Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) a strategic priority.
Country Brief 4B
This sNAPshot country brief explores how Peru is using communications to advance their NAP process and climate action more broadly.
This briefing note explores the importance and difficulties of bringing adaptation planning and peacebuilding agendas together in contexts of fragility and instability. It will also highlight some of the countries that have already begun to integrate conflict considerations into their adaptation planning processes.
COUNTRY CASE STUDY: Kenya
This case study is part of a series of briefs focusing on alignment of country efforts under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
COUNTRY CASE STUDY: Colombia
This case study is part of a series of briefs focusing on alignment of country efforts under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Country Perspectives on Alignment of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
This brief explores country perspectives on alignment of national-level policy processes under the Paris Agreement—specifically, NAPs and NDCs—as a basis for broader alignment toward climate-resilient development.
This Country Brief presents Kenya’s experience with the design of its adaptation monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. It highlights Kenya’s climate change policy context, priority adaptation actions and principles to provide guidance for the design of Kenya’s adaptation M&E system.
This briefing note describes the rationale and approach that we have taken in supporting NAP-focused gender analyses in six African countries (Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guinea-Conakry, Madagascar and Togo). It provides insights from the analyses, presenting common themes that are emerging as well as lessons learned from the process.
