Understanding the baseline – what is available
where there are gaps and needs to be addressed during the NAP
formulation
2. Strategic vision and objectives for Tuvalu’s NAP
3. Framing the NAP considering the SDGs, Sendai, SAMOA Pathway,
FRDP, Te Kakeega III and other key national sector policies, plans and
strategies.
4. Key issues, risks and vulnerabilities, national systems for
assessments
5. Road map towards a full NAP and access to the GCF NAP funding

3. 1. Establishing and understanding
baselines using a sample NAP process

4. CONSIDER THE LEG SAMPLE NAP PROCESS

5. METHOD FOR STOCKTAKING
In performing a stocktake these are the key steps:
• Identifying what is available and known of ongoing and past
adaptation activities
• Synthesize available analyses of the current and future climate at
the national level
• Conduct gap analysis to assess strengths and weaknesses
relating to capacity, data and information and resources required for
the NAP process
• Assess potential barriers to the planning, design and
implementation of adaptation

6. RESULTS OF THE OPEN NAP STOCKTAKING
Results are presented under each Elements of the NAP Technical
Guidelines
- Setting up key building blocks/steps

7. ELEMENT A: LAYING THE GROUNDWORK AND ADDRESSING GAPS
Tuvalu is undergoing the process to update its NAP. Launching of the NAP process is
sub-component of the Tuvalu Climate Change Policy – Te Vaka Fenua which has
been endorsed by Cabinet in early 2017.
 A terminal evalution of the National Strategic Action Plan for CC and DRM (NSAP) 2012 – 2016 was completed in Dec
2016.
Cabinet endorsed the process for the Te Vaka Fenua:
 5 Goals that articulates vulnerable sectors and systems. The NAP should provide
targeted adaptation actions to address priority sectors and systems as identified in the
climate change policy.
 Adaptation is cross-cutting across sectors and should be addressed at all levels
(National government, Kaupule (local government) and Falekaupule (communities))
 The CCPDCU is the leading government department and the NACCC ensure the
successful delivery of the NAP process.
 The NAP is to provide a clear roadmap
Initiating and launching the process

8. ELEMENT A: LAYING THE GROUNDWORK AND ADDRESSING GAPS
Mandate
 In early 2017 the Cabinet tasked the CCPDCU to lead the formulation of
the Te Vaka Fenua (climate change policy) and its parallel process of
formulating NAP and the NDC Implentation strategies.
 The mandate came as a result of the MTR of the Te Kaniva (Climate
Change policy) and Final evalution of the NSAP.
Institutional arrangements
 The NACCC is the high-level body that task with providing technical
advise on climate change
 The CCPDCU serves at the Secretariat to the NACCC and the leading
agency on the Te Vaka Fenua and NAP process.
Mandate and institutional arrangements

9. ELEMENT A: LAYING THE GROUNDWORK AND
ADDRESSING GAPS
The Te Vaka Fenua roadmap will be presented to the NACCC in Aug
2017.

10. ELEMENT B: PREPARATORY ELEMENTS
• Only completed V&A conducted under SNC in 2008
• Water Security Needs Assessment for Tuvalu published in 2015
• Climate-sentive health risks in Tuvalu published in 2012
• Vulnerability assessment for Water, and Health and Sanitation sector -
LoCAL 2016.
• Monitoring the vulnnerability and adaptation of coastal fisheris to climate
change – Fuanfuti published in 2013
• Improving agroforestry systems to enhance food security and build resilience
to climate change in Tuvalu – 2015
• Climate risks and vulnerability assessment for selected coastal sites – 2016

Assessment of climate risk and vulnerability

11. ELEMENT B: PREPARATORY ELEMENTS
High dependence of population on and also climate sensitive sectors
 Agriculture, Water and Fisheries
Tuvalu is still a Least Developed Country (LDC)
Level of economic development
 74% of household participate in reef fishing and 63% in ocean fishing (subsistence
and commercial)
 42% of GDP comes from Fisheries sector (2016)
 Rainfall and household rainwater harvesting is the primary source of water supply
in Tuvalu. Desalination unit provide additional supply. Operation of Desalination
unit is costly.
Geography
 Fragile low-lying atoll ecosystems
 Surrounded by ocean
 Increased risk of disasters (cyclone, drought, inundation)
Key vulnerabilities

12. ELEMENT B: PREPARATORY ELEMENTS
 Increase in average temperatures. Warming is physically consistent with GHG
emission scenarios
 Increased in extreme rainfall events, erratic rain fall patterns
 Hydro-meteorological disasters (drought)
 Increased in kingtide events
Projected climate changes

13. ELEMENT B: PREPARATORY ELEMENTS
 Adaptation priorities to be identified and reaffirming as a result
of the NSAP evaluation, TKIII implementation matrix.
 Ranking and prioritisation of adaptation actions using the tool
and methodoly under NAPA
Appraisal, costing and ranking of adaptation strategies and options

14. ELEMENT C: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
These are some key national actional plans that are of relevance to
vulnerable sectors of Tuvalu, that can be used as an entry point to
producing sectoral NAP:
 A National Integrated Water Resources Management Plan 2012 -
2021 has been developed.
 Tuvalu Agriculture Strategic Marketing Plan 2016 – 2025
 Tuvalu Infrastructure Strategy and Investment Plan 2016 – 2025
 National Integrated Coastal Management Plan – to be prepared
under the GCF-Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP)
Produce sectoral and subnational action plans as appropriate

15. ELEMENT D: REPORTING, MONITORING AND REVIEW
• Develop tools for TKIII-MTR in 2018, and align MRV of Te Vaka
Fenua to NAP process
Design monitoring and evaluation system to support SDGs, TKIII
and Te Vaka Fenua adaptation reporting

16. ELEMENT D: REPORTING, MONITORING AND REVIEW
 Continuation of NACCC monthly update
 Revalidate activities on an annual basis
Monitor systems and address gaps and needs to support iterative
planning, implementation and assessment

17. ELEMENT D: REPORTING, MONITORING AND REVIEW
 Ratified the Paris Agreement, NDC submitted in 2016.
 SNC to be submitted in late 2017.
