http://www.fao.org/in-action/naps The presentation gives an overview on the FAO-UNDP "Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans" programme funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). The programme supports least developed countries (LDCs) and developing countries to identify and integrate climate adaptation measures in the agriculture sectors (crop, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) into relevant national planning and budgeting through the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. The presentation was made by Julia Wolf, Natural Resource Officer, FAO and Rohini Kohli, Lead Technical Specialist, UNDP on Day 1 of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Workshop, 5-7 April 2016, Rome, Italy. © FAO: http://www.fao.org

1. The NAP Agriculture Programme
Rohini Kohli UNDP and Julia Wolf FAO

2. Vision
To assist decision makers in programme
countries to integrate climate change concerns
as they affect agricultural sector-based
livelihoods into associated national and sectoral
planning and budgeting processes

3. At the end of 4 years, the programme
should demonstrate evidence of innovative
approaches developed and adopted by
countries, that are recognized as effective
and sustainable by knowledge institutions
and independent experts

4. Programme countries

5. Target group
Senior policymakers and technical staff at the national and sub-national
levels, involved in the planning, priority setting, and budgeting for
sustainable development leading the process of mainstreaming climate
change concerns into the agricultural-sectors within existing planning and
budgeting processes and frameworks.
Key institutions include:
Agriculture (including Forestry and Fisheries)
Environment
Planning and Finance
Important stakeholders include :
Housing
Land and Community Development
Water, Women’s Affairs, Urban Development
inter-departmental working groups on climate change and national
meteorological institutions
