While NAPs have primarily focused on plans at the national and sub-national/sectoral levels, many climate drivers of vulnerability and risk span international boundaries. This is particularly the case in water and ecosystems, as well as connected supply and value chains. Explicit consideration of transboundary issues and regional approaches in NAPs has been a topic of discussion over the last several years.

The events will showcase practical ways on the design and implementation of regional adaptation programmes with countries, financial mechanism entities, and other providers of support. They will identify entry points to inform the work of the LEG in providing technical assistance and facilitating the application of regional approaches to adaptation planning in the LDCs. They will explore examples of regional approaches that are successfully being implemented in the regions, identifying areas (systems) where regional approaches would be beneficial and discuss the development of programmes that could address adaptation with a regional/transboundary lens.
