Opportunities to Accelerate Adaptation

Scientists have warned us that climate change increases the risk of such extreme weather events with increasingly severe impacts on humans, infrastructure and ecosystems.

To prepare for and address these impacts, countries have been developing their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and many climate-vulnerable countries have included their adaptation priorities in their climate pledges, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

At this year’s UNFCCC NAP Expo in Dhaka, countries took stock of the progress and exchanged experiences on adaptation planning and implementation.

Learn more about some of the key opportunities in accelerating adaptation action based on experiences from country representatives and practitioners at the NAP Expo 2024, in the full article from UNDP.
