This publication provides an overiew of the landscape of support available for adaptation and of the targeted programmes andinitiatives that have been set up to facilitate the formulation and implementation of NAPs. It is structured around six different categories of support: “Guidelines”, “Systematic observation, science and climate services”, “Information and knowledge”, “Finance”, “Capacity-building and technical support”, and “Technology development and transfer”. It updates and complements the information contained in the Adaptation Committee's report on Navigating the landscape of support for the process to formulate and implement national adaptation plans published in 2015.
As the support needs of different countries at different stages of the process to formulate and implement NAPs vary and will continue to evolve, the landscape of available support will also adapt to those needs. In light of the dynamic nature of the provided support, this publication is complemented by an online information source on which the information on available support will be updated more frequently and more flexibly. The online information source is available at unfccc.int/napsupport
