Background

This is the 10th global NAP Expo since 2013. It brings together a diversity of participants from Parties and Non-Party Stakeholders.

Objectives

The overall objective of the NAP Expo is to raise adaptation ambition by advancing the formulation and implementation of NAPs. Specific objectives include:

a. To facilitate the interaction between country NAP teams and providers of support, including the GCF, GEF and AF, as well as bilateral agencies and other relevant organizations, to enhance access to financing for NAPs;

b. To create an interactive global forum on NAPs for countries to share experience, best practices and lessons learned; different organizations and bodies to conduct specialized meetings and workshops; and for Parties and non-Party stakeholders to interact, in advancing the formulation and implementation of NAPs;

c. To serve as the global platform to advance technical and practical measures towards the production of first NAPs as soon as possible and their effective implementation.
