Alignment to Advance Climate-Resilient Development

Box 1. Peer Learning Summit: The role of the NAP process in advancing implementation of the adaptation goals under the Paris Agreement Co-hosted by the Government of Thailand and the NAP Global Network, this learning event brought country teams together to share experiences and lessons learned on linking the NAP and NDC. [...] Figure 1 applies the continuum introduced in the first brief in this series (Dazé, Terton, & Maass, 2018) to the specific case of the alignment of the NDC and NAP process and the varying degrees of it. [...] A few countries are at the strategic point in the continuum where, for example, the NAP has been used to elaborate the adaptation actions identified in the NDC, as in the case of Togo. [...] The detail provided in the NAP can provide the basis for the overall adaptation 5 vision and priorities in the NDC while enabling the NDC to remain concise and focused on principles and high-level direction. [...] The NDC update could focus on improving the quality of the adaptation-related information by providing additional or new information and demonstrating progress in the implementation of the NAP process.
