When: 23 April at 14:00-15:30 (local time)
Where: Bangabandhu International Conference Center, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The event is taking place as part of the NAP Expo 2024.
UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report 2023 points to 5 criteria that can be used to assess and evaluate National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): comprehensiveness, inclusiveness, potential for implementation, integration, and monitoring and evaluation.
Studies indicate that countries are performing well in terms of comprehensiveness and inclusiveness in their NAPs. However, countries are performing lower in terms of implementability, integration, and monitoring and evaluation. These global trends call for strengthening these 3 areas to drive transformational adaptation on the ground and for the benefit of local communities and economies most at risk.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), UNEP, and the NAP Global Network are aiming to bring best practices from their respective NAP programmes and projects to showcase how the NAP process can drive transformational adaptation at the local, sub-national and national levels.
