Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

2. National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Process
Put adaptation at the heart of decision-making
• Identify and address medium- and long-
term priorities for adapting
to climate change
• Assess risk, identify and prioritize
options, implement options, track,
measure progress – learn
• Put in place the systems and capacities to
make this a part of regular development
planning and budgeting

3. Enabling factors
The active involvement of high-level political leaders and recognized “champions” who
are committed to addressing adaptation.
Rules, regulations, and associated organizational structures that enable coordination on
adaptation across actors at all levels + systematic integration of adaptation into development
processes.
Efforts that enable a range of diverse actors at all levels, including civil society
organizations, the private sector, communities, the media, and academia, to participate
in and influence decision making in the NAP process.
Generation and use of (i) data and information—especially climate data; (ii) knowledge,
including local knowledge and research; and (iii) key messages tailored to specific
audiences to advance the NAP process.
Investments in individuals and organizations at all levels to ensure they have the skills and
capacities to enable effective and efficient NAP processes.
The availability and accessibility of public and private financing for climate adaptation
from domestic and international sources.
