ALBANIA

Albania established the Inter Ministerial Working Group on Climate Change (IMWGCC) in 2014 to coordinate climate mitigation and adaptation. The NAP process began in 2015 with a participatory stocktaking workshop, with the goal of adopting a national strategy on climate change, a NAP document, and a national mitigation plan in 2018. The country's approach focuses on mainstreaming adaptation into sector plans and the National Strategy for Development and Integration, targeting priority sectors such as agriculture, forestry, tourism, energy, settlements, and water.

• The Albanian government created the Inter Ministerial Working Group on Climate Change (IMWGCC) in 2014 to coordinate institutions on climate change and integrate climate considerations into policies and programs. The group consists of 15 members from key ministries and is led by the Ministry of Environment, which is also responsible for the development and implementation of the NAP.
• Albania initiated its NAP process in 2015 through a participatory stocktaking workshop designed to evaluate institutional arrangements, policies, capacities, and climate information gaps. The government expected to adopt the NAP document, a national mitigation plan, and a national strategy on climate change in 2018.
• Albania's NAP approach involves mainstreaming adaptation into sector plans and policies and incorporating adaptation priorities into the National Strategy for Development and Integration. Priority sectors for adaptation include water, settlements, energy, tourism, forestry, and agriculture, while anticipated climate impacts include heatwaves, drought, floods, rainfall variability, increasing temperatures, and pests and crop failure.
