Introduction to the Targeted Topics Forum & NAP Global NetworkNAP Global Network
This document outlines the objectives and structure of the Targeted Topics Forum on Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development. The forum aims to: 1) develop strategies for high-level political support for mainstreaming climate adaptation; 2) gain practical knowledge on integrating adaptation into sectoral planning; and 3) identify roles of different actors to coordinate adaptation actions. It consists of three components: a steering committee of 11 countries, a secretariat, and global participation of donors and practitioners. The goal is to enhance bilateral support for national adaptation plans through improved coordination, leadership, learning, and exchange.
The document discusses the role of evaluation in connecting evidence to decision-making processes to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It argues that evaluation can help make sense of wealth of SDG data by identifying context-specific trajectories, linking evidence back to Agenda 2030 principles, and investigating interactions between social and environmental systems. However, the document notes that evaluation also needs to change to better assess future impacts and sustainability in light of challenges like climate change, promote mutual accountability across all levels, and evaluate progress toward goals like equity and policy coherence.

There are benefits to tracking national progress on climate change adaptation through monitoring and evaluation (M&E). M&E systems can facilitate mainstreaming adaptation efforts and prioritizing spending, though balancing standardized indicators with context is important. Tracking inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes provides information but can be data and resource intensive. The purpose of M&E should be learning rather than just indicators. Aggregating local and sub-national adaptation progress to the national and global level is challenging but not straightforward. Stakeholder buy-in and clear responsibilities are also critical for effective M&E.
The document discusses prioritizing adaptation activities and options. It notes that prioritization is important given constraints like resources, capacities, and authority. Some options can be maladaptive if they foreclose other options. The document then provides examples of prioritization methods like ranking vulnerabilities, scoring consequences, and multi-criteria analysis. It emphasizes selecting an approach that suits available data and involving stakeholders in deciding criteria and rankings. Overall, the summary highlights that prioritization of climate adaptation requires considering constraints, potential unintended impacts, appropriate methods, and stakeholder participation.

National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network
Presented by Sharon Lindo, Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre
"Alignment between Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"
Presented by Hayley Price-Kelly (IISD) on November 13, 2016, in Marrakech during COP 22.
This document summarizes the results of an expert elicitation survey assessing the potential impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on decarbonization efforts. Key findings include that experts have overall positive expectations for green recovery programs supporting renewables and clean energy. However, support for fossil fuel intensive industries is also seen as likely. International climate cooperation and public spending on climate policies are areas where the crisis may negatively impact progress. The survey aimed to gauge expert opinions on how the crisis may crowd-in or crowd-out climate policy across different countries and sectors.
The document summarizes key points from a presentation on the current mandate of the Least Developed Countries Experts Group (LEG). It discusses:
1) The LEG's expanded mandate to include technical support for national adaptation programs of action and the national adaptation plan process.
2) Key messages from a recent adaptation planning expo, including the importance of country ownership, integrating adaptation into development plans, considering vulnerable groups, and regional collaboration.
3) Milestones under the LEG's current mandate, such as training workshops, publications, and organizing adaptation expos to support the national adaptation plan process in least developed countries.
The document discusses climate change policy and initiatives in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines experiences increasing temperatures, more cyclones, and changes to rainfall patterns due to climate change. The Climate Change Act of 2009 established the Climate Change Commission to coordinate climate policy and the National Climate Change Action Plan to outline adaptation and mitigation strategies. The plan aims to build resilience through 2028. It also discusses localizing climate efforts, tracking climate spending, and partnerships to address climate change impacts in the Philippines.
Introduction to the NAP Global Network | Jamaica, July 2017NAP Global Network
Presentation by Alec Crawford (NAP Global Network) given at the workshop "Jamaica’s National Adaptation Plan: Integrating Climate Change into National and Ministerial Budgets" in July 2017.
This document discusses how to build high-level political support for national adaptation plan (NAP) processes. It defines high-level political support as expressed commitment through verbal declarations, institutional commitment through policies and infrastructure, and budgetary commitment through earmarked resources. It notes that expressed commitment without institutional or budgetary follow-through is rhetorical. The document examines factors that shape political prioritization of adaptation issues, including norm promotion, resource provision, civil society mobilization, policy community cohesion, external framing, political champions, credible indicators, focusing events, clear policy alternatives, political transitions, and competing priorities. It emphasizes understanding what influences policymakers' priorities and how to manage opportunities and barriers.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
