UN4NAPs is a UN-wide rapid technical backstopping initiative for National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), launched in 2021 by the UNFCCC secretariat, in response to COP mandates for engaging international organizations in support of climate change adaptation, to scale up technical support to LDCs and SIDS to formulate and implement NAPs.
The partnership enables the UN-wide system of organizations and other intergovernmental organizations to respond to technical requests identified by any country that is in the process of formulating or implementing its NAP.
When receiving requests for technical assistance, the UNFCCC secretariat immediately communicates with relevant partners from a roster of more than 50 UN and intergovernmental organizations for a prompt response.
The categories of technical assistance that can be catalyzed between specific agencies and countries are:
- Direct technical queries which can be answered by relevant agencies via email;
- Delivery of specific data/knowledge products (such as datasets, analytical tools, guidance material);
- Longer–term technical capacity development/engagement with the requesting country;
- Review of draft NAPs upon request by a country.
