11. EXAMPLES
 Operational policies and institutional frameworks: Mali’s NDCs analyze adaptation options and integrate them into
development projects at all levels. The NAP process is integrated into their Partnership Plan, including dissemination of the
results, implementation of a roadmap, development of indicators, and implementation.
 Increased access to finance: Mongolia has a Portfolio of investment plans and bankable projects for key priority sectors with
sector-specific NDC implementation roadmap and investment plans in place.
 Improved transparency of monitoring: Uganda developed a Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting system with supporting
tools for gender responsive Adaptation measures, including gender disaggregated data in the national MRV system.
 Strengthen capacity: São Tomé e Príncipe has capacity building plans around disaster risk management, coastal risk and
resilience building in communities which range from strengthening their Emergency Operation Center and internal
governance to conducting vulnerability studies across sectors and at local level.
 Sector-specific adaptation goals: Colombia has a comprehensive sectoral plan that includes Transport, Energy, Agriculture,
Housing, Health, Trade, Industry, Tourism, and Ecosystems. Key ministries have sectoral climate change management plans,
which include an adaptation action plan. 2 adaptation plans have been developed (agriculture and primary road network) and
11 territorial plans for adaptation have been developed at the subnational level.

ADAPTATION IN THE NDCS

12. KEY THEMES IN PARTNERSHIP PLANS
 Operational policies and institutional frameworks: goals outlining a need for policies
or regulation to support adaptation integration
 Increased access to finance: country plans and strategies
to develop bankable projects and access climate finance
 Improved transparency of monitoring: prioritization of country or sector-
level targets or progress monitoring
 Strengthen capacity: focus on building local and government capabilities to
effectively implement adaptation action
 Sector-specific adaptation goals: country or subnational level sectoral adaptation

Most activities are cross-cutting
• Developing whole-of-society approaches
− Mongolia will establish the National Committee on Climate Change by decree to bring together
government institutions and development partners for the first time.
• Integrating climate and development agendas
− Kenya is including priority actions from NAP, SDGs and NDC into its National Climate Change Action Plan
that is aligned with the Big Four Agenda, the national roadmap for economic development.
• NDC planning is leading to investment plans
− Mali finalized an NDC Investment Plan with 15 key projects, including 3 targeted for the private sector.
• International support is being aligned
− In Rwanda, 10 Members responded to the request for support letter in just 1 month and Sweden is using
the process to identify actions to be included in the next bilateral work program.
• Countries are increasing ambition
− Uganda is looking to address some NDC actions by 2020 instead of 2030.

15. 15
Countries explicitly including adaptation elements
• Uganda
− NAP and its costed implementation plan in place and funded by 2020
− Results from the development and implementation of NAP incorporated into the NDC adaptation
component by mid 2020
− National adaptation registry system developed by end 2019
• Honduras
− Revision of adaptation components of the NDC, based on the 2015 NDC, NAP and sectoral plans
− NDC investment plans based, inter alia, on the NAP
• Kenya
− Institutionalize NAP MRV framework

16. MAJOR MESSAGES
 NDC implementation is a learning experience, with governments still considering how to integrate
NDCs and NAPs into core development strategies.
 Most country activities are still cross-cutting, with adaptation and mitigation activities both
included:
 Mainstreaming policy agendas across whole of government
 Engagement with non-state actors
 Formulation of investment plans
 Budgetary integration
 MRV
 Many countries are considering integration of adaptation within their NDC as a form of NDC
enhancement.
