- The world's population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, boosting agricultural demand by 50% compared to 2013 levels. Around 700 million people remain in extreme poverty and 800 million are chronically hungry. - The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process was established in 2010 to help countries develop strategies to address medium and long-term adaptation needs. Key outcomes from COP23 included establishing a Gender Action Plan and recognizing agriculture's role in adaptation. - The Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans flagship programme supports 11 countries to identify climate adaptation measures for agriculture in national plans and budgets through the NAP formulation and implementation process.

3. The world’s population is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2050, boosting agricultural demand
– in a scenario of modest economic growth – by some 50 percent compared to 2013.
Around 700 million people, most of them living in rural areas, are still extremely
poor today.
* Of 189 countries that submitted NDCs by July 2016
Almost 800 million people are chronically hungry and 2 billion suffer micronutrient
deficiencies.

5. National Adapation Plan (NAP) - 2010
– National Adaptation Plan (NAP) was established in 2010, under the Cancun Adaptation
Framework.
– The NAP process enables Parties to formulate and implement national adaptation plans
(NAPs) as a means of identifying medium- and long-term adaptation needs and
developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address those needs.
The objectives of the NAP process are:
 To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building adaptive capacity
and resilience;
 To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into
relevant new and existing policies, programmes and activities, in particular development
planning processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as
appropriate.

6. COP 23 outcomes relevant to NAPs
The Gender Action Plan, which highlights the role of women in climate action and promotes gender
equality in the process.
A historic decision entitled Koronivia joint work on agriculture was adopted by this year’s
international climate conference, COP23, recognizing the importance of agriculture in responding to
climate change.
The Green Climate Fund launched the Simplified Approvals Process (SAP). The new process
simplifies applications for certain small-scale projects of up to USD 10 million GCF funding.
The Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) Trust Fund was established at COP21 to
strengthen the institutional and technical capacities of developing countries to meet the enhanced
transparency requirements.
Germany pledged 50 million euros to the Adaptation Fund. Another 50 million euros of German
funding was pledged to the Least Developed Countries Fund to further support the development of
National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).

ADAPTATION PLANS
(NAP-AG)
Flagship programme to address the agriculture sectors in NAPS

8. Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans
Flagship Programme
Objective | To identify and address climate change adaptation measures for the agriculture sectors in relevant
national planning and budgeting processes through the formulation and implementation of a National Adaptation Plan
(NAP).
Global Programme Budget: USD 17 million Donor | BMUB Partner | UNDP
Supporting Countries on NAPs (11): Colombia, Gambia, Guatemala, Kenya,
Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Uganda, Uruguay, Viet Nam and Zambia

9. Key activities include supporting countries:
Develop integrated adaptation approach and roadmap for national adaptation plans
Strengthen gender-responsive adaptation planning for the agriculture sectors;
Define a baseline on adaptation and improve evidence-based results in the agriculture sector;
Strengthen technical and institutional capacity on cost-benefit analysis, impact evaluation, gender
mainstreaming, and monitoring and evaluation;
Identify climate finance for adaptation/GCF; and
Enhance regional and global dialogues through peer-to-peer exchanges
Globally advocating:
Integration of agriculture and food security in NAPs as instrument to for implementing NDCs and
achieving SDG 2 “Zero Hunger” and SDG 13 “Climate Action”;
NAPs negotiation during UNFCCC sessions; and
Country support in the UNFCCC work streams and with Expert Groups including on regional
trainings and outreach and knowledge sharing.
