Least developed countries (LDCs) continue to face significant challenges in implementing their national adaptation plans (NAPs), including limited technical capacity and barriers to accessing adaptation finance.
This side event, organized by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG), will showcase key tools, guidance and initiatives supporting NAP implementation in LDCs. The event will also mark the launch of NAPX, a new platform designed to connect science, policy, finance and practice through a shared data architecture and common adaptation taxonomy.
Participants will learn about available support from partners, funds and organizations, and explore opportunities to strengthen collaboration in advancing adaptation action

“As war in the Middle East causes immense human suffering and sparks a fossil fuel cost crisis that’s strangling economies everywhere. It’s crystal clear: continuing our fossil fuel dependency means continuing to import inflation and economic instability, while exporting energy security, sovereignty and policy autonomy, leaving economies and communities exposed to climate disasters, taking a wrecking ball to lives and prosperity everywhere,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, at the opening of the UN June Climate Meetings in Bonn today.
Stiell also spoke about some of the key issues the June meetings need to progress, including the Global Goal on Adaptation, the Belem Adaptation Indicators, how to deliver the first global stocktake outcome, and more.
As the climate community gathers in Bonn for SB64, one message remains clear: we have entered the implementation era of the Paris Agreement. Accordingly, the UN system and its partners are convening a wide range of NDC-related events, showcasing how countries and stakeholders are moving from climate plans to impact.
These events highlight practical solutions, partnerships, and tools to accelerate implementation, close finance gaps, and support inclusive and just transitions.
