Background

The Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) organizes side events during the SB sessions to discuss the experiences and progress made by the least developed countries (LDCs) in addressing adaptation, and the support provided by the group to the LDCs on adaptation.


At this session’s side event, the LEG will provide updates on key strategic activities in accelerating the formulation and implementation of NAPs, and in other areas. The event will also provide a space for the LDC Parties to provide updates on their priorities and needs for support. The Green Climate Fund, Global Environment Facility and relevant organizations that provide support to the LDCs will also share updates on their work and available support for the LDCs.
