The document discusses support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for developing and implementing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). It outlines the process from COP21 to COP22 in expediting support for adaptation planning. Around 20 countries have expressed interest in receiving funding for NAPs or other adaptation planning processes. The GCF provides up to $3 million per country through its readiness program and also considers funding proposals under its adaptation window. The process involves countries developing proposals with delivery partners, proposals being reviewed and approved, legal agreements being concluded, and disbursements made upon progress report reviews.
