Thinley Namgyel, Member of the LEG: Introducing the NAP Process and the NAP Expo
1. Introduction to
the NAP process & the NAP Expo
NAP-Expo
8– 9 August 2014, Bonn, Germany
LEG
Thinley Namgyel
2. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process
Established by Conference of Parties in 2010 (decision 1/CP.16)
As a process to enable LDCs to formulate and implement NAPs, building
upon their experience in preparing and implementing NAPAs, as a
means of
- identifying medium- and long-term adaptation needs and
- developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address
those needs.
Other developing country Parties are invited to employ the modalities
formulated to support the NAPs.
3. Guidelines for national adaptation plans
NAP Guidelines
COP guidelines for NAPs provide the basis for formulation and
implementation of NAPs:
Initial guidelines are contained in decision 5/CP.17, annex
Technical guidelines for the NAP process, developed by the LEG in
response to decision 5/CP.17 paragraph 15 are available at
<http://unfccc.int/7279>
4. NAPAs: a success story for LDCs and for adaptation
• The focus on urgent and immediate, has highlighted the importance of
addressing local community needs, as well as the need to also focus on the
medium and long-term
• NAPAs taught the world a lot about adaptation planning and implementation –
several reports have been written about NAPAs. The experience has also been
useful in financing of adaptation; and for the agencies, they have learned a lot
about how to support and work with countries on adaptation
• LDCs built a lot of capacity and ownership of adaptation efforts in their
countries through the NAPA
• Awareness of climate change was greatly enhanced across levels of
government, from the local to highest policy circles – many heads of state
regularly track progress in the NAPAs, in addition to high-level of endorsement
5. National Adaptation Plan Process
Objectives of the NAP process (decision 5/CP.17) are:
a) To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building
adaptive capacity and resilience;
b) To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a
coherent manner, into relevant new and existing policies,
programmes and activities, in particular development planning
processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different
levels, as appropriate.
6. What is the NAP process all about?
• The NAP process encourages countries to advance from NAPA and other
individual adaptation experiences to comprehensive, medium- and long-
term planning and implementation for adaptation that is driven by a
country-owned NAP framework, strategy or roadmap
• NAPs will be the primary statement of national adaptation needs and
priorities, including financial needs
• In order to succeed, the NAP process will be implemented through an
overarching national adaptation programme with clearly identifiable
leadership and resources that would spawn activities that formulate plans,
implement them, and then monitor progress, effectiveness and gaps, in
order to inform further actions
• A national coordinating mechanism entitled through a specific mandate
would define the modalities for the country approach and coordinate
incoming efforts to ensure a sustainable adaptation approach that fully
supports the national vision for climate-resilient development
7. Guiding principles of the NAP process
Continuous planning process at the
national level with iterative updates and
outputs
Country-owned, country-driven
Not prescriptive, but flexible and based
on country needs
Building on and not duplicating existing
adaptation efforts
Participatory and transparent
Enhancing coherence of adaptation
and development planning
Supported by comprehensive
monitoring and review
Considering vulnerable groups,
communities and ecosystems
Guided by best available science
Taking into consideration traditional and
indigenous knowledge
Gender-sensitive
8. The 10 essential functions of the NAP process
1. Helping governments to provide national leadership and coordination of
adaptation efforts at all levels and to act as the main interface with regional
and international mechanisms;
2. The collection, compilation, processing and dissemination of data,
information and knowledge on climate change and relevant development
aspects in support of adaptation planning and implementation;
3. Identifying and addressing gaps and needs related to capacity for the
successful design and implementation of adaptation;
4. Assessing climate development linkages and needs and supporting the
integration of climate change adaptation into national and subnational
development and sectoral planning (through policies, projects and
programmes);
5. Analysing climate data and assessing vulnerabilities to climate change
and identifying adaptation options at the sector, subnational, national and
other appropriate levels
9. The 10 essential functions of the NAP process
6. Appraising adaptation options to support decision-making on adaptation
investment plans and development planning;
7. Promoting and facilitating the prioritization of climate change adaptation in
national planning;
8. Facilitating the implementation of adaptation at all levels through appropriate
policies, projects and programmes, taking into account opportunities for
synergy;
9. Facilitating the monitoring, review and updating of adaptation plans over
time, to ensure progress and the effectiveness of adaptation efforts and to
demonstrate how gaps are being addressed;
10.Coordinating reporting and outreach on the NAP process to stakeholders
nationally and internationally on progress to the Convention.
10. The objectives of the NAP Expo 2014:
a) Serve as a platform for NAP teams, organizations, agencies and other
stakeholders to exchange experience, lessons learned and ideas on
the NAP process;
b) Promote and mobilize action and support for the formulation and
implementation of national adaptation plans;
c) Share technical knowledge, including on methods, data and tools;
d) Identify gaps and needs for effective implementation of NAP processes,
to further inform the LEG and other bodies and organizations in their
support and guidance to these processes.
