Tomorrow Needs Us Today: Resilience

The document highlights the role of the NAP Global Network in supporting over 120 developing countries with climate adaptation planning. It details specific interventions in Ethiopia and Colombia, provides metrics on technical assistance and training, and calls for $5 million in donations to support countries most vulnerable to climate change.

• The NAP Global Network, established in 2014 and hosted by IISD, provides technical assistance and capacity building to help vulnerable countries implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) to increase the resilience of communities, ecosystems, and economies.
• The NAP Global Network has achieved several quantitative milestones, including providing technical assistance to 40 countries, training over 2,700 people on climate change adaptation, and strengthening the capacities of more than 200 government institutions in adaptation planning.
• In Ethiopia, IISD support helps the government implement social protection systems, climate-smart agriculture, and improved access to potable water while promoting gender equality.
• In Colombia, IISD works with the government to pilot early warning systems designed to reduce the impact of drought and heavy rains on sewage systems and household water supplies.
• The NAP Global Network currently connects more than 1,200 participants from over 140 countries, with over 120 developing countries having already begun adaptation planning.
