Overview of the NWP work

Timely, understandable, and actionable knowledge tailored to the specific and evolving needs of countries, particularly developing countries and communities is essential for scaling up adaptation action.

The Nairobi Work Programme (NWP) supports this by advancing adaptation efforts and strengthening resilience to climate change impacts across systems and communities. This includes developing forward-looking strategies to co-create and deliver knowledge and practical know-how in a timely, accessible, and actionable manner, aligned with the unique and changing needs of countries and communities.

The NWP collaborates with a wide range of knowledge holders, including scientific institutions, private sector actors, Indigenous peoples, and local communities. It also promotes the use of innovative and emerging technologies, as appropriate, to enhance the implementation of activities. See below for an overview of NWP workstreams.
