Public Engagement on Climate Change Adaptation

This briefing from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) emphasizes the necessity of public engagement and citizen involvement in the policy-making process to achieve climate ambitions and ensure the long-term success of national adaptation plan (NAP) processes.

• Public engagement is essential for the long-term success of building climate resilience through national adaptation plan (NAP) processes, as countries cannot meet their climate goals without involving citizens in policy-making. NAP teams are advised to center decision-making on the values and identities of people.
• Establishing a social mandate and building public support is considered crucial for the actual implementation of adaptation actions that have been prioritized during the NAP process.
