What Does the First Global Stocktake Mean for the National Adaptation Plan Process?

The document discusses how developing countries can use the results of the first global stocktake to refine their national adaptation plans (NAPs), advocate for implementation support, and contribute to future global assessments to ensure their priorities are represented in the global goal on adaptation.

• The first global stocktake, concluded at COP 28 in 2023, indicated that while there are near-universal actions to implement the Paris Agreement, countries are not currently on track to achieve long-term adaptation and temperature goals.
• The NAP process is identified as the primary mechanism for developing countries to systematically improve climate resilience, reduce vulnerability, and enhance adaptive capacity.
• Developing countries are encouraged to use the first global stocktake's outcomes to validate their current implementation trajectories and integrate identified good practices and recommendations into their NAPs.
• Countries can utilize the outcomes of the global stocktake to seek support for the means of implementation, specifically regarding technological transfer, capacity building, and finance for NAP execution.
• Active participation in the second global stocktake is recommended for developing countries to ensure their priorities are included in the collective assessment regarding the global goal on adaptation.
