Join us on 5 December, 18:30-20:00, in side event room 4, to hear from country representatives and representatives of UN4NAPs partner organizations as they share their experience of how technical assistance was facilitated through the UN4NAPs initiative and how their work on NAPs in the countries has been advancing.
The event aims to showcase examples of the different categories of support that are being facilitated through the initiative.
Developing countries, especially LDCs and SIDS, are invited to submit their requests for technical assistance to UN4NAPs on an ongoing basis.
About UN4NAPs
UN4NAPs is a UN-wide rapid technical backstopping initiative for National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), launched in 2021 by the UNFCCC secretariat, in response to mandates for engaging international organizations in support of climate change adaptation.
It offers a platform for countries, initially for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), to communicate their needs for technical assistance on an ongoing basis.
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.
