Abstract

As part of the LEG core work in assessing the progress made by the developing countries on NAPs including measuring adaptation outcomes, the LEG has been producing, since 2015, an 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 formulation and implementation of NAPs is a concrete measure of success in adaptation both at the national and global level. It provides a clear indication of the goals and aspirations of countries making it feasible to assess adaptation outcomes. 

This publication on progress made in the process to formulate and implement NAP presents official data on where we are and where more needs to be done. The details presented are based on information shared by the countries, relevant organizations and bodies on their work on NAPs and the latest information presented in the 2021 report to the SBI (FCCC/SBI/2021/INF.7). This useful information to plan further support to expedite the formulation of NAPs and subsequent implementation of priorities identified in them.
