Nature is essential for building resilience to climate change. Many countries’ national adaptation plans (NAPs) have focused on nature to scale up actions for ecosystems to help people adapt—for example, by protecting wetlands and restoring mangroves to help withstand the impacts of floods. Given the importance of ecosystems across global environmental agendas and the […]

In 2017, Victor Santillan, communications officer for Peru’s environment ministry, travelled to Castries for an exchange with Saint Lucia’s government peers as they developed their first-ever communications strategy for the national adaptation plan (NAP) process. Santillan joined a national workshop where the Saint Lucian government engaged journalists and communicators in dialogue on climate change adaptation. […]

Designed for government teams responsible for leading their country’s NAP processes, the NAP Global Network and Adaptation Committee’s new Toolkit for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) of National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes aims to put the principle of adaptive management at the heart of NAP processes, emphasizing how ongoing learning from MEL is integral to […]

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems are used to provide a structured approach to monitoring progress, evaluating results, and learning to ensure climate change adaptation strategies are effectively achieving their intended outcomes. This blog builds on what the NAP Global Network has learned about effective NAP processes to identify and explain the basics of a MEL system as part of NAP processes.

Explore the four key avenues that countries should use to strengthen the links between their national Climate Risk Assessments and the evaluation of National Adaptation Plan processes.
By Emilie Beauchamp (International Institute for Sustainable Development) and Iga Józefiak (University of Geneva)
Designing MEL systems for adaptation by COP 28 will be a key issue to be discussed in the Global Goal on Adaptation talks at the 58th meeting of the UNFCCC’s Subsidiary Bodies in Bonn, Germany.
