This document discusses integrating climate change adaptation considerations into sector planning. It explains that integration is one of the key objectives of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process to both reduce vulnerability and incorporate adaptation into development planning across sectors and levels. The document outlines some approaches to initiating sector integration, such as systematically identifying climate risks and opportunities, modifying policies and plans through stakeholder engagement, and implementing changes. It also provides examples of institutional challenges to integration, like fragmented mandates and limited resources, and approaches taken in NAP case studies.

3. Why integration
matters
Integration is one of two objectives of the
NAP process:
 Reduce vulnerability
 Integrate climate change adaptation into new
and existing development planning
processes, across all relevant sectors and
levels
UNFCCC, 5/CP.17

4. Doing things differently because of climate
change:
 Systematically identifying significant risks
and opportunities for development
 Working with the range of stakeholders,
agencies and institutions to modify affected
policies, strategies, plans
 Implement them
What integration
means

5. Approaches to initiating
sector integration

6. Examples of
institutional challenges
for integration
» Fragmented national mandates
» Skewed availability of technical skills
and knowledge
» Limited communication and dialogue
across government
» Uncertainty over financial resources
for climate change
- Examples from NAP Training developed by GIZ in
cooperation with UNDP and UNITAR
