Best Practice Capacity Building to Unlock Climate Capital |
This event is an interactive knowledge-sharing / action-learning session focused on best practices for capacity building. It aims to solicit examples of high-quality, high-impact capacity-building in action, and to derive critical conditions for successful capacity-building to inform the development of a set of guiding principles. |

From Planning to Finance: What can we learn and how we can enhance capacity by studying the finance aspects in the NAPs? |
The session will seek to address capacity-building gaps and needs in developing countries, specifically in the ability of NAPs to leverage financing. It will present examples of best practices in this area, and will look to discuss and address capacity challenges and solutions with key stakeholder groups involved in both adaptation financing and planning. |

Kickoff podcast
Listen to this introductory podcast of "NAPs & Climate Finance 101" that sets the stage for the thematic day!
What? - Objectives and Topics
This thematic day is dedicated to addressing critical capacity-building needs for mobilising finance - including private finance - for adaptation, especially in the context of operationalising NAPs. It aims to strengthen the capabilities of policymakers, regulators and finance professionals to bridge the gap between climate ambitions and tangible adaptation outcomes while also inspiring capacity building stakeholders to create programs and interventions that meet the critical needs and gaps countries face in this space. The day will also showcase successful capacity-building initiatives and demonstrate how global frameworks can serve as blueprints for a more coordinated action and improved risk management for climate adaptation.
Why? - Significance
Mobilising finance for adaptation is an imperative to unlock resilient and equitable growth, especially in climate-vulnerable regions. Yet, the current funding landscape falls alarmingly short of the global need. By 2030, the climate finance gap is projected to reach $5 to $11 billion annually (CPI), with adaptation funding in developing countries lagging by 10 to 18 times what is required (UNDRR). NAPs theoretically play a pivotal role in addressing these gaps by providing frameworks for coordinated climate finance. But unfortunately, these plans are often struggling to get operationalised and financed.
There is no doubt that capacity building can help here, by equipping countries with the necessary skills and resources to effectively access and mobilise climate finance including private, ensuring that adaptation strategies can be implemented successfully. Additionally, it can foster stronger institutional frameworks and cross-sectoral collaboration, enabling governments to integrate climate risks into development planning or coordinate across finance and environment ministries.
