NAP Summary:
The UN Climate Change Secretariat's report highlights success in enhancing adaptation capacity, focusing on the Nairobi Work Programme (NWP)
NAP Description:
Page Content:
The UN Climate Change Secretariat has published a
report
showing that a key adaptation programme under the UNFCCC has been successful in contributing towards building the capacity of governments, communities and many stakeholders to better protect lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people around the world from the inevitable impacts of climate change.
The report is on the achievements of the
Nairobi Work Programme
(NWP) over the past five years.
Youssef Nassef, Director of the Adaptation Division at UN Climate Change, said: "The Nairobi Work Programme's ability to convene actors from all relevant sectors and levels to curate knowledge and address needs that hinder adaptation in all the different regions and across shared ecosystems is more critical than ever.”
Going forward, the NWP will continue to strengthen partnerships at the regional and transboundary level, especially in the thematic area of mountains and scaling up the LAKI in more subregions. The focus will be on understanding ways to strengthen resilience and implement practical, effective and priority adaptation action in regions. The next milestone is the UN Climate Change Conference SB60 in June, at which governments will consider progress under the NWP.
