Abstract

The LEG produces the annual progress report on the process to formulate and implement NAPs serving as an official documentation of progress and assisting the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) in assessing progress on NAPs. The topics covered in the report include the progress made under the four elements and related steps of the process to formulate and implement NAPs; progress in achieving the objectives of the process as contained in decision 5/CP.17, paragraph 1; progress in addressing the guiding principles of the process as contained in decision 5/CP.17, paragraphs 3–5; support provided and received in the process; and gaps and needs and challenges faced by developing countries in the process. 

The details presented are based on information shared by the countries, relevant organizations and bodies on their work on NAPs and the information presented in the 2020 report to the SBI (FCCC/ SBI/2020/INF.13). This publication on progress in the formulation and implementation of NAPs is a valuable resource, taking stock of where we are in the process and setting out what more needs to be done.
