Le rôle du processus de PNA dans l’avancement de la mise en œuvre des objectifs d’adaptation prévus à l’Accord de Paris
Summary
The report details a workshop focused on aligning National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It argues that while NDCs set high-level goals, the NAP process serves as the operational mechanism to implement these goals at subnational and local levels. The document identifies significant institutional gaps, as many countries operate these processes in parallel without coordination. Key recommendations include establishing joint technical working groups, creating shared monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and developing technical guidelines to move from informal to systematic alignment.
Key insights
- The NAP process and NDCs are complementary tools under the Paris Agreement: NDCs communicate high-level adaptation goals and targets, while the NAP process provides the operational framework for planning, implementing, and monitoring those measures.
- Aligning NAPs with NDCs allows countries to translate high-level national objectives into actionable planning at local and subnational levels.
- There is a critical need to improve institutional understanding of both processes, as government actors involved in NAPs are often unfamiliar with NDC content and vice versa, leading to parallel institutional functions.
- Most participating countries have not yet established a direct link between their NAP process and their NDC, though some have begun identifying synergies. The goal for these countries is to achieve 'systematic alignment' where NDC adaptation content is derived directly from the NAP process.
- Political economy factors and conflicts of interest can hinder alignment; for example, some stakeholders may oppose combined processes if they fear a reduction in resources or a shift in the distribution of power and beneficiaries.
- The GIZ-developed Tool for Assessing Adaptation in the NDCs (TAAN) reveals that of 176 NDCs, 131 include an adaptation component, and 57 (44%) specifically mention the NAP process.
- Countries exhibit different levels of integration between NAPs and NDCs, categorized as distinction (separated, e.g., Niger), harmonization (separated but aligned, e.g., Vietnam), and integration (a single national process, e.g., Côte d’Ivoire).
- Togo provides a case study of synergy where its NDC, National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC 2017–2021), and National Development Plan (PND 2018–2022) work together to integrate adaptation across six priority sectors, including energy, agriculture, and water resources.
- Participants identified key actions to advance alignment over the next 18 months, including establishing joint technical working groups, creating shared monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems, and developing joint implementation roadmaps.
