Communication, awareness-raising, outreach and sharing of information
The workplan of the AC contains a range of activities to facilitate awareness-raising, outreach and sharing of information. This includes: the communication, information and outreach strategy which the AC adopted as a living document, adaptation fora and a related video documentary, thematic and overview reports, meetings with relevant organizations, and collaboration with the LEG on its NAP Central, currently being developed as a universally accessible hub for information pertinent to the national adaptation plan (NAP) process.
The AC also reports annually to the COP, through the subsidiary bodies, including on its activities, the performance of its functions, guidance, recommendations and other relevant information arising from its work and, as appropriate, on further action that may be required under the Convention, for consideration by the COP.
The AC meets twice a year. The list below shows all documents on the above issues that the AC has considered and developed. These documents served as input to the discussion and show evolution of the discussions to-date.
All relevant documents providing input to and considered at AC meetings are provided below. The documents show the evolution of discussions to date.
