Enhancing the National Adaptation Plan Process for the Sultanate of Oman

The proposal outlines a comprehensive framework to enhance Oman's climate adaptation capabilities across five priority sectors: water resources, agriculture, fisheries and marine resources, infrastructure (including urban areas and tourism), and public health. It identifies six primary barriers, including inadequate legal frameworks and limited private sector engagement. The project aims to deliver a validated National Adaptation Plan, a National Climate Change Adaptation Policy, and a national financing strategy, while establishing a gender-sensitive monitoring framework and an online climate risk portal. The project is implemented by UNIDO with a total requested amount of USD 2,948,130.00.

• Oman faces significant climate vulnerabilities, including a rising temperature trend of 0.4 °C per decade since 1980 and an increase in the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones, exemplified by Cyclone Shaheen in October 2021, which caused approximately 100 million USD in destruction.
• The country's population is highly exposed to coastal risks, with 80% of the population residing in low-lying coastal cities vulnerable to sea-level rise and storm surges.
• Six critical barriers hinder Oman's adaptation process: inadequate policy/legal frameworks, minimal progress in mainstreaming sectoral vulnerabilities, lack of evidence-based decision support, limited knowledge of gender and socially differentiated impacts, low societal awareness, and minimal private sector engagement.
