Module I.3 Process overview on NAP Trainer: [Name] Country teams that want to realize key NAP tasks need to have a good understanding and awareness of the NAP process This module starts the training on the NAP TG with an overview of the NAP elements, guidelines, support channels. We will go into more detail of specific aspects in the subsequent modules.

Overview of this module Introduction to the NAP Technical Guidelines Orientation within the 4-element approach How to use the Technical Guidelines Supplementary resources How this training covers the Technical Guidelines Provide an overview of the content of the presentation, starting with “Objectives of the module” (see next slide). If you find it useful, you may use this field to insert notes – but only sparingly, please!!

What can you expect to learn from this session? Get introduced to the main elements and basic structure of the NAP Technical Guidelines Reflect which parts of the Technical Guidelines can help to move your NAP process forward and how to they can best be used Understand what supplementary materials and support resources are available upon countries request Know how this training covers the Technical Guidelines

Introduction to Technical Guidelines Developed by LEG in 2012 Build on initial guidelines by UNFCCC Four elements and their indicative activities for the NAP process: Laying the groundwork and addressing gaps Preparatory elements Implementation strategies Reporting, monitoring and review NAP TG developed by the LEG in 2010 LEG was requested by COP17 in Durban to prepare them Building on NAP decision of the Cancun adaptation framework decided in COP16 in Cancun. The COP had already defined four main elements Initial Guidelines Technical Guidelines

Approach of the Technical Guidelines For each of the four elements the Technical Guidelines propose Steps a country may consider Key questions to facilitate implementation of the steps Indicative activities/ tasks a country may undertake under each step Including description, suggested approaches and methods, examples, case studies and key references No strict sequence – numbers for ease of reference The LEG has broken down the four main elements in steps, building blocks, sample outputs. You can see that very well on the NAP TG poster Module I.2 showed already that these elements and steps should be applied with a high degree of flexibility considering the concrete conditions in the country and that NAP should not be understood as a new or parallel process from scratch but that it should be integrated and linked to existing processes wherever possible. This training will not introduce each step or building block in great detail. But it will give a general overview and show users where to find more resources and how to use the NAP TG in a flexible way. 4 elements Steps Key questions Indicative activities

Element A: Lay the groundwork and address gaps Presentation title Element A: Lay the groundwork and address gaps Objective: Lay the groundwork and address gaps Sample outputs Political mandate Overview of data, information, activities Enabled environment for NAP process Continuously relate adaptation and development Indicative activities Initiate and launch the NAP process Raise awareness, inform and visualize Assess and address gaps Assess development needs and climate vulnerabilities Outcome Political buy-in Data, information and institutional basis Informed stakeholders

Element B: Preparatory elements Objective: Provide basis for developing a NAP Sample outputs Report on climate change scenarios Ranked vulnerabilities Ranked adaptation options National adaptation plans → education strategy Indicative activities Analyze climate change scenarios Assess vulnerabilities Identify, review and appraise, adaptation options Compile and communicate NAP Integrate NAP into development processes Outcome Identified interplay between climate and development Identified adaptation needs and options

Element C: Implementation strategies Objective: Develop a long-term adaptation implementation strategy Sample outputs Prioritized adaptation options Long-term adaptation implementation strategy Coordinated policies, programmes, projects Enhanced planning and implementation capacity Indicative activities Prioritize adaptation options Develop long-term implementation strategy Enhance planning/implementation capacity Promote coordination/synergy Outcome Long-term orientation for planning and implementation Concrete activities

Element D: Reporting, monitoring and review Objective: Ensure the effectiveness of the NAP process Sample outputs Progress reports Evaluation reports Review reports Updated plans Indicative activities Monitor progress Review the process Update the NAP regularly Outreach and report on NAP process Outcome Transparency Effectiveness Learning

Using the Technical Guidelines - I Reminder Not prescriptive To be used in a flexible manner according to a country’s needs and desired entry points Build upon existing strategies, literature review, expert input and experience The COP decided that the NAP process should not be prescriptive, nor result in the duplication of efforts undertaken in-country, but should rather facilitate country-owned, country-driven action. Therefore it is very important that countries build sufficient institutional and individual skills among key experts to manage the process and also any external support Also it is very important that countries make use of the NAP TG in a flexible way This is what this training should support

Using the Technical Guidelines - II General approach of the guidelines Promote not a single but complementary approaches to adaptation planning Maximum flexibility for tools No particular sequence or number of steps to follow National process will manage demand for external support (rather than being support-driven) The COP decided that the NAP process should not be prescriptive, nor result in the duplication of efforts undertaken in-country, but should rather facilitate country-owned, country-driven action. Therefore it is very important that countries build sufficient institutional and individual skills among key experts to manage the process and also any external support Also it is very important that countries make use of the NAP TG in a flexible way This is what this training should support

Resources by the LEG to support the NAP process This slide gives you an overview of the main resources provided by the LEG. On the website you will find additional resources that are progressively developed by the LEG.

Supplementary support – upon country demand Support for individual steps Support for sectoral topics Regional support NAP Align M&E of adaptation Water: Global Water Partnership International Regional Climate Centers UNITAR Competency framework Health: WHO Programs of regional economic bodies SNAP EbA: Conservation Climate finance readiness Agriculture: FAO Capacity WORKS …additional resources under development… NAP training Sourcebook Vulnerability The NAP TG give a very good overview of key aspects of the NAP process. However the description of tasks, suggested approaches and methods, examples, case studies and key references is necessarily limited. Development Partners supporting the NAP process have therefore prepared a number of supplementary materials that provide more details about individual steps as well as sectoral issues. These materials should provide recommendations at practical level to be used at case-by-case basis. Therefore they should not duplicate the NAP TG and be clearly aligned to them. Also the use of the supplementary materials should be very flexible upon country demand Regional Centers: Regional centers assist in regionally focused research, climate data collection and capacity building to develop effective adaptation measures. Regional economic cooperation bodies also support adaptation planning. For example the ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Centre for Biodiversity plays a leadership role in informing adaptation planning for its member countries. Its mandate is to harmonise and further develop the varying political approaches taken by ASEAN nations at a regional level and to gather and manage information and knowledge about the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The Centre also supports member states in their efforts to meet targets set out in the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UN-CBD). Acronyms: NAP Align = National Adaptation Planning‘s alignment to overal development and budget planning, SNAP = Stocktaking of NAP, EbA = Ecosystem-based Adaptation

How this training covers the Technical Guidelines This training has broken the NAP TG down into 16 modules. The modules are organized according to the four elements of the NAP TG The Module based structure of the training enables the trainer to compose individual trainings by reflecting on the target group; time-frame available; level of existing knowledge among target group;specific context to the NAP process. The green lined boxes on this slide are the NAP elements, the black lined boxes are the steps and the blue clouds are the modules of this training.

Exercise part A: Navigating within the element scheme of the Technical Guidelines You are invited to define relevant activities for the sample workstream ‘Gaps and needs analysis’  see matrix I.3.1 The left column lists the elements and steps as proposed by the Technical Guidelines for the workstream ‘Gaps and needs analysis’ Define activities which are relevant for the workstream with a view to your concrete country situation Select the activities from Table 3 of the overview version of the NAP Technical Guidelines, which condenses all activities of the long version Write down the activities on cards - you will work in mini-groups

Exercise part B: Interfacing with various existing country processes under the NAP process Figure I.3.1 exhibits the NAP process surrounded by various planning, implementation, financing and monitoring processes, which are partly related to general development or sector policy, partly to climate change adaptation The moderator will guide you through the exercise, where you will analyse the relationship of NAP to these other processes Various categories of relationship might be relevant, which are shown through cards within a scheme prepared for you on the pin-wall
