Considerations for the Progress Assessment of NAPs at COP30
1 minute read
Parties are expected to decide on the progress assessment for the formulation and implementation of national adaptation plans (NAPs) at UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) 30th Conference of Parties (COP30). The NAP process helps developing countries identify and address long-term climate adaptation needs. Progress on the formulation and implementation of NAPs has been slow due to limited finance, technical support, and capacity building. Countries could better implement NAPs by aligning domestic policies and increasing financing, engaging the private sector, and renewing mandates for financial entities for support.
Questions for consideration
What is needed for Parties to find common ground for a COP30 decision on the progress assessment to formulate and implement NAPs?
Can Parties engage the private sector on NAP implementation? If so, in what ways?
What is an effective modality for focused work on enhancing NAP implementation?
