National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and agriculture: A learning workshop
CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)
13 - 14 November 2013, Warsaw, Poland

2. Country status in terms of National
Adaptation plans
• Policy document which creates the legal base to
create the National System of Climate Change.
• Development
Plan
2010-2014:
sectoral
strategies for climate change
• National Adaptation Plan of Climate Change
(PNACC): theoretical framework, guidelines and
protocols for local governments.
• Study of economic impacts of climate change
(EIECC)
• Adaptation Plan for Agricultural sector

3. Barriers and successes
Top two barriers/constraints
• Financial planning to implement the plans
• Articulation among government
institutions/commitment of private sector
Top 2 successes
• Making relevant climate change issues into
agricultural sector policy (law)
• Inclusion of economics in the analysis of climate
change impacts in the government

4. Next steps
 Implementation of SISCLIMA
 Financial plan to implement the Adaptation Plan for
Agricultural Sector
 Use EIECC as a scientific tool for both PNACC and
Adaptation plan of the Agricultural sector and others
 Increase support to local governments to implement in
their development plans the topic of climate changes
based on their local realities.
 Include studies from technical cooperation with IDB in
sectoral adaptation plans and MADR-CIAT agreement to
contribute to agricultural sector adaptation plan.

5. Expectations
 To learn from the experiences from other countries
from different regions of the world.
 To generate south–south cooperation bonds with
other countries in order to share specific learning
experiences.
 Determine how CCAFS could support the
development of the adaptation process in Latin
America.
