This document provides an introduction to the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process and guidelines for Lebanon. It summarizes Lebanon's climate vulnerability projections for 2090, including increased economic damage from environmental disasters, habitat change, disease, and industry stress. The document defines adaptation and mitigation, and introduces the NAP as per UNFCCC Decision 5/CP.17. It explains that the goal of the NAP process is to reduce vulnerability, build adaptive capacity and resilience, and mainstream adaptation into development planning. The presenter wants to use existing climate change information and momentum to develop more projects in a coordinated manner to increase Lebanon's adaptive capacity through its NAP process.
