NAP process (5/CP.17) • Objectives Reduce vulnerability, build adaptive capacity and resilience Mainstream adaptation to climate change into all relevant sector-

specific and general development planning • Characteristics Country-driven, non-prescriptive, iterative, building on existing

efforts Transparent, participatory, gender-sensitive • Elements a) Laying the groundwork and addressing gaps b) Preparatory elements c) Implementation Strategies d) Monitoring, reporting, review

Elements of the NAP process



Source: LEG 2012 GIZ Stocktaking tool for identifying

needs, gaps, and the point of departure for the NAP process

Stocktaking for National Adaptation Planning (SNAP) tool

Mainly support for Element A: Lay the groundwork and address gaps

Initiate of the NAP process

Assesses on-going and past adaptation activities

Assesses of strategic NAP goals

Identify needs and gaps

Based on 7 success factors for NAP (21 test questions)

Entry points for additional measures

Monitoring & Evaluation of national planning process



UNFCCC guidance on NAP success factors



Success factor UNFCCC guidance

Climate information “Guided by the best available science and, as appropriate, traditional knowledge” (5/CP.17, 3rd para)

Human and institutional capacities “Institutional arrangements and capacities for overall coordination and leadership on adaptation“ (5/CP.17, Annex, 2nd para)

Long term vision and mandate “Identify and address medium- and long-term adaptation needs” (1/CP.16, 15th para)

Implementation

“Based on nationally identified priorities” (5/CP.17, 1st para)

Mainstreaming „Integrate adaptation to climate change into all sector-specific and general development planning” (5/CP.17, 1st para)

Participation “Gender-sensitive, participatory and fully transparent approach” (5/CP.17, 3rd para)

M&E “Address inefficiencies; reflect lessons learned; monitor and review efforts; report on effectiveness” (5/CP.17, Annex, 6th para)

Climate information

Data about climate impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation options that provide the basis for solid decision making about responses to climate change.



Picture: Inventory of Methods for Adaptation to Climate Change (IMACC)

Human and institutional capacities

The ability of stakeholders and institutions to coordinate adaptation processes as well as to use and manage climate information.



Long term vision and mandate

Common understanding on long term objectives for national development taking climate change into account, as well as a mandate to align key process with this vision.




Implementation

The quality, quantity and strategic orientation of measures that are put on the ground to enhance resilience or reduce vulnerability to changes in climate.




Mainstreaming

The process of integrating adaptation into development processes at all planning levels, including national, sectorial and communal policy documents and programs.




Participation The involvement of representatives from private entities, different sectorial public administrations, civil society and NGO. Involving women´s representatives is especially important since women are often disproportionally affected by climate change.




Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Monitoring climate change impacts, financial resources, and adaptation performance, as well as monitoring and evaluating adaptation results provides valuable information for adaptation planning and decision-making. M&E systems for adaptation ensure effective resource allocation, improve accountability, strengthen steering adaptation plans and activities and foster learning on adaptation.




How to assess these factors? • Participatory stakeholder workshop

(1-2 days)

• Introduction to NAP

• Overview of the national adaptation and development planning context

• Combination of group discussion and individual assessment with qualitative justification for current and intended planning capacities

• Group discussion on results

• Documentation of assessment results and discussion



Results

• Common understanding of point of departure in the NAP process

• Exchange between important institutions

• Meaning of NAP for the country

• Identification of important needs and gaps for effective adaptation

• Indications for formulating a NAP ‘roadmap’

– Prioritize success factors

– Specific activities
