6 Framework: Overarching Themes Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop Session 4 Elaboration of Element B of the UNFCCC/LEG technical guidelines for the NAP process Build adaptation into current knowledge, systems and plans already in place Focus on building networks and relationships Sector-specific assessments first – then come together Engage all parties at all stages of the process Overcome issues of uncertainty by addressing adaptation as a risk-management issue Encourage an adaptive framework as ongoing response

7 Framework: Assessment Steps Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop Session 4 Elaboration of Element B of the UNFCCC/LEG technical guidelines for the NAP process Credit: New York City Panel on Climate Change

9 Tools Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop Session 4 Elaboration of Element B of the UNFCCC/LEG technical guidelines for the NAP process Goals – Raise awareness – Build capacity Standard framework based on uniform projections Guide that can be modified at the sector level based on individual contextual factors

10 Tools: Identify Vulnerabilities Example database for identifying vulnerabilities Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop Session 4 Elaboration of Element B of the UNFCCC/LEG technical guidelines for the NAP process Credit: New York City Panel on Climate Change

14 Concluding thoughts: some keys to success Institutionalize an adaptive framework Putting the “climate lens” on existing planning efforts – Understand how climate will impact current priorities – Integration with other planning efforts will ensure ongoing adaptation considerations Create a guidance template – Used across sectors and at various levels (local, regional, etc) – Adjusted to accommodate various contexts Ensure a cross-sectoral process Create buy-in through engagement, relationship building Begin with no-regrets adaptations Aim for climate-resilient development Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop Session 4 Elaboration of Element B of the UNFCCC/LEG technical guidelines for the NAP process
