UNEP-UNDP Climate Change Adaptation Support Widens in Scope to Include Developing Countries

SHARE THIS PAGE:

A United Nations climate change adaptation initiative for least developed countries will be broadened in October 2015 to include all developing countries ahead of the landmark climate change meeting that will take place in Paris later this year.

Developing countries are invited to submit requests for technical assistance on climate change adaptation to the National Adaptation Plan –Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP). The NAP-GSP will help these countries prepare medium- to long-term climate change adaptation plans tailored to their country’s needs and circumstances.

Focus will be on institutional support, technical capacity-building and knowledge-sharing to improve national capacities to plan, finance and implement climate change adaptation interventions. It will also help countries to leverage finance from other sources.

The NAP is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funded by the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The National Adaptation process was established under the Cancun Adaptation Framework in 2010. It enables Parties to formulate and implement national adaptation plans as a means of identifying medium and long-term adaptation needs and developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address those needs.

The programme will accept requests on a rolling basis. Countries interested in technical assistance from the NAP-GSP should send official letters of request through their national UNFCCC focal points to Mozaharul Alam (Mozaharul.Alam@unep.org) and Rohini Kohli (rohini.kohli@undp.org).
