Tracking Progress on the Integration of Nature-Based Solutions in National Adaptation Plan Processes

The document reports a growing trend of integrating NbS and EbA into National Adaptation Plans, noting that all NAPs now include at least one such action. It provides a breakdown of the specific ecosystems and management actions most frequently cited in these plans and offers action points for improving synergies with biodiversity planning and monitoring.

• There is a rising trend of incorporating the terms NbS and EbA into NAP documents, and currently, every NAP includes at least one action related to NbS or EbA.
• NAPs frequently identify various ecosystems as priorities, with forests (44 NAPs), coastal and marine areas (42 NAPs), and agricultural areas (37 NAPs) being among the most cited. In terms of management actions, sustainable management is the most common (52 NAPs), followed by restoration (48 NAPs) and conservation (40 NAPs).
