The National Adaptation Plan Process
As a process to enable LDCs to formulate and implement NAPs, building upon their experience in preparing and implementing NAPAs, as a means of identifying medium- and long-term adaptation needs and developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address those needs. Other developing country Parties are invited to employ the modalities formulated to support the NAPs.
The guidelines provide the basis for the formulation and implementation of NAPs

arrangements

timelines by workstream
