Seven Guiding Principles for Preparing Financing Strategies for Climate Change Adaptation in Developing Countries

As developing countries transition from planning to implementation in their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes, a critical step is securing financing to implement priority adaptation actions articulated through the NAP process. Several developing countries are preparing “financing strategies for adaptation” to set out a coordinated national approach to identify investment priorities and financing approaches for […]

How to Integrate Learning Into Climate Adaptation Policy Processes

View Report The effectiveness of climate change adaptation decision making largely depends on how well governments and other actors embed deliberate learning into the policy process.

Are We Adapting? 10 lessons from countries tracking progress on their climate change adaptation efforts 

How do we know if National Adaptation Plans (NAP) are making a dent in reducing vulnerability? NAP progress reports play a critical role in assessing a country’s climate change preparedness and advising on next steps. They consolidate the information gathered from monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) activities and encourage countries to continuously learn, adapt, and improve on their climate change adaptation efforts.

Adaptation in Biennial Transparency Reports: Frequently Asked Questions

Under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), countries have the option to report on climate change impacts and share information on adaptation efforts. As many countries are preparing their first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), the NAP Global Network answers some common questions on how to prepare the adaptation chapter of the BTR and how they can leverage the outputs and results of the National Adaptation Plan processes.

Visualizing Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning in National Adaptation Planning Processes  

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.
