1. 9.0 The NAP-SDG iFrame
LEG
Regional training workshop on NAPs for the Pacific region
10 to 13 July 2017
Nadi, Fiji
2. NAP Technical Guidelines
Objectives of the process to formulate and implement NAPs:
1. To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building
adaptive capacity and resilience
2. To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a
coherent manner, into relevant new and existing policies, programmes
and activities, in particular development planning processes and
strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as
appropriate.
The NAP Guidelines promote a development-first approach, crystalized
by looking at SDGs, supplemented by other national level goals/targets,
and those from other frameworks e.g. Sendai

End poverty in all its forms everywhere
End hunger, achieve food security and
improved nutrition and
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being
for all at all ages

education and promote
lifelong learning opportunities for all

sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Reduce inequality within and among countries
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its
impacts*
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests,
combat desertification, and halt and reverse land
degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for
sustainable development, provide access to justice
for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive
institutions at all levels
5. The Sustainable Development Goals
The SDGs represent a benchmark for national development
The SDGs provide a complete/idealized representation of a national
development process/system
They help define the boundaries for complete coverage of the
development process, and collectively define success/development.
They help define a future, as might be defined through a visioning
exercise. That future is defined through essential functions of major
components of the national development process
Climate change can be considered at a higher level to the other
SDGs, as it influences all the others, directly or indirectly
6. SDGs as a linked system of goals and targets

Rio+20 Working Paper 4
7. Introducing the SDGs …. National development ….
The SDGs can be classified depending on their relationship with
climate change adaptation (NAPs) into:
High-level/co-objectives (when compared to the global goal on
adaptation and the objectives of the NAPs)
Specific targets/outcomes/constraints, easily quantifiable
Guiding principles (more general targets that are hard to
quantify)
Similar to ICSU work on interaction of the goals

10. Main conclusions: very obvious and yet largely ignored
Given this integrated nature or issues, we should say
goodbye to a silo/sectoral approach
There are specific targets associated with SDG 13 on
Climate change, plus newer “targets” based on the Paris
Agreement, and in terms of reporting, those need to be
addressed
However, Climate Change is an issue/driver/factor that
affects many of the SDGs directly and all others
indirectly
11. Consider SDGs that are sensitive to climate change showing targets affected
12. Integrative framework for NAP and SDGs: NAP-SDG iFrame
How to manage achievement of the SDGs in the face to climate change
Climate change affects many of the SDGs directly, and for the others,
indirectly
An approach has been developed and is being advanced through the NAP
workshops to assess and act on “systems/management units,”
The approach makes it easy to manage the synergy between development
and adaptation goals, including documenting outcomes to support M&E of
SDGs and adaptation concurrently
13. NAP-SDG iFrame
The framework takes an integrated approach towards country-driven
and country-specific descriptions of systems that should be managed
to achieve adaptation and contribute towards achieving SDG targets
Combination of SDGs and climate risk factors help in selection of
systems, e.g. for food security, the systems would include crop
production, distribution, affordability, strategic food reserves over time as
well as nutritional value;
These component systems can be assessed for sensitivity to climate
change, taking into account interlinkages to other “sectors/SDGs”, and
adaptation actions can then be developed, prioritized and implemented;
After implementation, outcomes would accrue adaptation benefits as well
as sustainable development benefits – both of which can be monitored
and documented in reporting

Module 9: Framing adaptation in context of SDGs and Sendai, etc
… Group Exercise
17. Framing adaptation in the context of national development targets, SDGs and
other frameworks
1. Use the handout on Sustainable Development Goas (SDGs) provided to
you
2. From among SDGs 1-16, select the SDGs that you think will be affected
by climate change
3. For 3 of the selected SDGs, study the targets and categorize them into 3
classes: high-level; specific (quantifiable), and general (guiding
principles)
4. Add additional specific targets from national and other development
strategies as necessary
5. Consider the list of SDGs that will be affected by climate change and
upon consideration of additional targets from Sendai and national
development priorities – this is the framing for adaptation
6. You can further group these into development themes e.g. Food security,
etc or the GCF result areas (see GCF logframe for adaptation)
