Dear colleagues,

The NAP Global Network and the NAP Global Support Program invite you to join our upcoming webinar on:  

Webinar | Linking National and Sub-national Adaptation: Vertical integration in National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes

REGISTER HERE.

EVENT DATE: September 18, 2019

EVENT TIME: 8 p.m. Indochina time, 9 a.m. ET

LOCATION: Online

Increasing attention has recently been placed on the role of sub-national actors in advancing implementation of adaptation in developing countries. For example, the 2015 Paris Agreement recognized that though adaptation is a global challenge, it has local and sub-national dimensions. To be effective, NAP processes must reflect these dimensions—with consideration of sub-national diversity—as well as the critical role of sub-national authorities and local organizations in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating adaptation.

This webinar is aimed for NAP teams and other stakeholders interested in strengthening vertical integration in the process. It will look at different aspects of vertical integration in NAP processes. In particular, it will:

• Provide background on the rationale for linking national and sub-national adaptation efforts
• Present a range of key considerations for vertical integration
• Present different options for sub-national actors to access climate finance
• Discuss opportunities and challenges from at least two countries on vertical integration of NAP processes

Speakers:

• Angie Dazé, NAP-GN
• Rafael Moser, UN Capital Development Fund
• Magdalena Preve, UNDP Uruguay
