NAP Summary: Learn about the priority knowledge gaps for the subregion
NAP Description: On 20-22 October 2016, UNFCCC/NWP and UN Environment, in collaboration with IWMI, organized a priority-setting workshop for the Indian Ocean island countries in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Page Content: As part of the
implementation of the Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative (LAKI) in Africa and Asia, UNFCCC/NWP and UN Environment organized a
priority-setting workshop for the Indian Ocean island countries, in parallel with
another workshop concerning the Hindu KushHimalayan subregion.

 

The aim of this priority-setting workshop was to better
understand and categorize adaptation knowledge gaps for the Indian Ocean island countries (i.e., Comoros, Madagascar, the Maldives,  Mauritius, the Seychelles and Sri Lanka), define a list of strategic priority knowledge gaps, facilitate the
design of collaborative response actions, and discuss possible
response actions and associated institutions for addressing these gaps in the
subregion. To learn more about the LAKI approach, click here.

 

 
 

The priority-setting
workshop was organized back to back with the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network
forum and was held in collaboration with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). The workshop gathered 10-15 expert
participants. 


 

The priority-setting workshop led to the
identification of two sets of priority knowledge gaps, so
as to better take into account the geographical diversity of the subregion. A
list of 10 gaps was thus agreed upon for the larger island countries (i.e.
Madagascar and Sri Lanka) while a list of 10 gaps was identified for the
smaller island countries (i.e. Comoros, the Maldives and the Seychelles).
