Presentation Transcript

1. National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Country-level training Module V.2 NAP as a living document Trainer: [Name] In cooperation with Slide 1

2. Overview of this module Adaptation is a long-time process covering many decades Various changes will take place over such long time periods which will have to be reflected in the NAP process NAP documents have to be flexible and open for adjustments (NAP as living process) Slide 2

3. What can you expect to learn from this session? Understand the iterative character of NAP planning and implementation Get sensitized for the need for regular revision Reflect reasons and frequency of revision Slide 3

4. Need for regular adjustments NAP process has long-term character. Framework conditions such as CC impacts and vulnerabilities will evolve over time. Experiences from NAP implementation will gradually evolve. Knowledge and state of science will improve over time. Relevant development and sector plans will change to which the NAP process is aligned: Strong link to national planning cycles Mainstreaming is a continuous process. Slide 4

5. Time-scale of adaptation Planning horizons Slide 5 Source: Adapted from Staffort Smith 2009

6. Particular areas of change influencing NAP New directions in the national development planning New policy directions Socio-economic changes Increasing knowledge on CC change and vulnerability Experiences within the NAP implementation process (what works, what doesn t work) Feed-back from M&E system New impetus from international climate negotiations Slide 6

7. How can a NAP be adjusted ? Adjusted goals New sectors to be covered Adjusted measures New stakeholders to be involved New plans / policies to be aligned with Adjusted timeframes Changed resource conditions (funds, personnel ) Real case: New political situations might require comprehensive adjustments in the NAP process. The National Climate Change Strategy of Tunisia was not implemented after the Arab spring any more. A new process had to be started to win a mandate for adaptation. Slide 7

8. Initiatives and triggers for revision Revisions might be launched by adaptation steering bodies if new knowledge emerges or relevant framework conditions change. New development or sector plans might need reflection in the adaptation process (Example: A new River Basin Management Plan might be very relevant for climate sensitive irrigation projects). Some counties initiated their NAP process through an act of parliament, an executive order by the President or the like. This might include provisions for up-dating (Example: US Executive Order 13514 on Climate Change Adaptation). The time-frames for revision might be also stipulated in the Adaptation Plan itself. 17/08/2024 Slide 8

9. Exercise: Revision process for NAP Please reflect possible changes and options for adjustment in Matrix V.2.1 for the concrete situation of your country. Note down your finding on cards Present your findings in plenary Slide 9
