Background

As part of its technical guidance and support, the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) decided to create and maintain a roster of national and regional experts from the least developed countries (LDCs) to support the formulation and iterative review of national adaptation plans (NAPs), and the implementation of policies, projects and programmes identified in them.

The LDCs Roster of Experts on NAPs therefore contains information on experts with relevant skills and professional expertise in the field of climate change adaptation to contribute to activities related to the formulation and implementation of NAPs. It is the hope of the LEG that relevant organizations providing support to the LDCs on NAPs will use this roster as a resource to identify national and regional experts to engage in providing effective support to the LDCs.

The call for expression of interest to join the roster was launched in July 2022 and is open for applications on a continuing basis.

About the LEG

The LEG was established in 2001 and is mandated to provide technical guidance and support to the LDCs on the process to formulate and implement NAPs and on the implementation of the LDC work programme. The process to formulate and implement NAPs was established in 2010 to enable LDC Parties to formulate and implement NAPs as a means of identifying medium- and long-term adaptation needs and developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address those needs. More information about the LEG and its work is available at http://unfccc.int/leg.
