The Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) 2024 provides its annual assessment on progress in adaptation planning, implementation and finance. It shows that, while inching forward on adaptation planning, collectively developing countries are falling behind on implementation because of the enormous gap between adaptation finance needs and flows.

This guidance note provides National Adaptation Plan (NAP) teams with a step-by-step approach for linking climate change, peacebuilding, and conflict dynamics.

UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report 2023: Underfinanced. Underprepared – Inadequate investment and planning on climate adaptation leaves world exposed finds that progress on climate adaptation is slowing when it should be accelerating to catch up with rising climate change impacts.

Learn about the opportunities for countries to leverage the results of NAP processes for preparing Adaptation Communications; and making strategic use of AdCom for boosting the profile and visibility of adaptation progress and needs without creating undue additional reporting burden. The report draws on experiences from the NAP Global Network’s support to 22 countries to build on their NAP processes to prepare their first AdComs.

Through a systematic review of National Adaptation Plans documents and interviews with key stakeholders, this report showcases the role NAP processes can play in minimizing and addressing loss and damage.
