This publication is a supplement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Technical Guidelines. The supplement focuses particularly on the opportunities that the NAP process provides to national authorities and stakeholders for integrating risk-centered approaches and in creating synergies and effective connections with disaster risk reduction efforts. It should be used in conjunction with the NAP guidelines as it uses the four elements outlined in that document as its basis.
