COP 29 | Aligning NDCs and NAPs to Enhance Ambition on Adaptation
This COP 29 side event will explore the way forward to strengthen alignment and coherence between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and national adaptation (NAPs).
Countries are expected to submit their updated NDCs in early 2025. For countries that include or expand the adaptation information in their NDCs, this update is an opportunity to communicate enhanced ambition on adaptation in line with the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, as well as to strengthen alignment between NDCs and NAPs. NDCs and NAPs are complementary—NDCs present the country’s higher-level vision, objectives, and priorities for adaptation, while the NAP process allows countries to identify, address, and review their adaptation needs while advancing the implementation of adaptation measures.
Representatives from Belize, Burundi, and Suriname will share their perspectives on the way forward to strengthen alignment and coherence between the NDC and NAP, the challenges they have encountered, and how they are moving forward.
This event will be held at the Canadian Pavilion.
