Implementing Adaptation Under the Paris Agreement: The key role of stakeholders

Haiti has launched its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for 20222030, focusing on agriculture, water, health, and infrastructure. The plan identifies 340 adaptation actions, with 21 designated as priority actions requiring a minimum of USD 980 million in funding. Implementation depends on strengthening human capacities, adopting climate technologies, and establishing a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) system. The document stresses that inclusive governance involving universities, the private sector, civil society, and local governments is essential for success, with a specific focus on gender mainstreaming and the role of the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC).

• Haiti's first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) covers the period 20222030 and prioritizes four sectors: agriculture, water, health, and infrastructure.
• The financial requirements for the 21 priority adaptation actions (out of 340 total identified actions) are estimated at a minimum of USD 980 million.
• Implementation of the NAP requires addressing gaps in human resources (specifically planning and MEL capacities), technology (utilizing climate technology needs assessment reports), and institutional mechanisms, including the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC).
• Effective implementation is contingent upon the active participation of diverse stakeholders, including universities, the private sector, civil society organizations, sectoral ministries, and local governments.
• The document identifies several barriers to national climate action, including the perception of climate change as a future or developed-country issue, communication difficulties, and the prioritization of immediate needs like food, security, and political stability.
• Gender mainstreaming is a critical component of the NAP, requiring that gender be considered cross-cuttingly in strategic documents and that women and girls' adaptive capacities be strengthened.
