Initiating sector integration of adaptation considerations

The document outlines a spectrum of approaches for integrating climate adaptation into sectoral planning, ranging from sector-driven to nationally driven models, using examples from several developing countries to illustrate how different pathways can achieve climate-resilient development.

• The integration of adaptation into sector planning follows a spectrum of approaches: sector-driven, where existing sectoral initiatives are coordinated to define national priorities; nationally driven, where a focal agency identifies priorities for sectors to adopt; and hybrid, where adaptation is considered simultaneously at national and sectoral levels.
• Stocktaking of past and ongoing adaptation activities by ministries and agencies is a critical early step in the NAP process to identify existing institutional capacity and impetus for adaptation planning.
• Different countries exemplify various points on the integration spectrum: Grenada is sector-driven, using the NAP process to coordinate existing sectoral efforts; Albania and the Philippines are nationally driven, with the former developing an umbrella policy document and the latter utilizing a National Climate Change Action Plan coordinated by the Climate Change Commission (CCC); Brazil and Jamaica employ hybrid or coordinated approaches involving national policies and sectoral contributions.
