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 LDCs and SIDS, to communicate their needs for technical assistance on an ongoing basis. The partnership enables the UN organizations and other intergovernmental organizations to respond to technical requests identified by any country that is formulating or implementing its NAP. When receiving requests for technical assistance, the UNFCCC secretariat immediately communicates with relevant partners from a roster of currently 53 UN and intergovernmental organizations for a prompt response.
UN4NAPs side event during SB60
The event will convene representatives from developing countries and relevant UN4NAPs partner organizations.
Developing countries, especially LDCs and SIDS, will present their respective plans for NAP formulation and implementation and highlight their related needs for technical assistance, bearing in mind the goals, as per COP 28, of all countries to submit a NAP by 2025 and to have progressed in implementing them by 2030.
UN4NAPs partners will share proposals on how these can be addressed. In addition, they will share plans on how assistance to countries will be scaled up towards achieving the 2025 (all countries to have submitted a NAP) and 2030 (all countries to be implementing the NAP) goals of the Global Stocktake COP28 decision.
The side event will take place on Tuesday, 4 June 2024, 10:15-11:30 in side event room Berlin.
