Based on a review of NAP progress reports, this report analyzes various methods countries use to track their adaptation progress and highlights important lessons and good practices.
Climate change drives ecosystem and biodiversity loss, while ecosystem degradation undermines efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Actions to protect and restore biodiversity and ecosystems, such as nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), can support climate adaptation and resilience. National adaptation plans (NAPs) offer a strategic framework for mainstreaming, mandating, and scaling […]
This session focused on showcasing the extent to which NbS and EbA have been taken up in countries’ NAP processes, based on the recent report published by the NAP Global Network Secretariat on tracking progress on NbS in NAP processes.
This synthesis report aims to assess the extent to which countries have integrated nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) into their NAP documents.
