The document discusses the NAP Global Network, which aims to enhance support for national adaptation plan (NAP) processes. It has three components: 1) a targeted topics forum for sharing best practices; 2) promoting global donor coordination; and 3) providing technical support for in-country coordination. The first forum brought together participants from 14 countries and 6 organizations to discuss challenges. The rest of the document focuses on approaches countries are taking to integrate climate adaptation into sector policies, using the Philippines as an example of a nationally-driven process and advertising upcoming opportunities to learn about other countries' approaches.

adaptation considerations
A spectrum of approaches

6. A nationally driven example
• Developed a National Climate Change Action
Plan that outlines a longterm program and
strategies for adaptation and mitigation in line
with its national development plan
• Philippines Climate Change Commission (CCC)
coordinates involvement of stakeholders from
relevant sectoral agencies and ministries and
others
• CCC includes a panel of experts with
representatives of a range of climate-sensitive
sectors who provide technical advice in climate
science, technologies and best practices to
enhance adaptive capacity

10. The impetus for sector integration can
be found in different ministries and at
different levels depending on the country
context. There is no one-size-fits-all
approach: different country specific
pathways can lead to a common
outcome of integration
