Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development Targeted Topics Forums

The NAP Global Network's Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) are a series of workshops that bring together representatives from developing countries and development cooperation agencies to exchange lessons on technical aspects of the National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process. Unlike one-off workshops, TTFs use a sustained peer learning model, reconvening the same cohorts of international specialists to build a supportive community. Each forum is structured around three pillars: technical inputs from experts, relational opportunities for peer sharing, and reflexive opportunities for countries to apply inputs to their own contexts. Current focus areas include building political support, cross-sectoral integration, financing implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The Network also provides a Country Support Hub for submitting questions and advice on the NAP process.

• Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) are designed to facilitate learning and exchange on specific technical topics related to the National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process by bringing together representatives from developing countries and development cooperation agencies.
• To ensure a multi-sectoral approach, developing countries are invited to send teams of three representatives: one from the national ministry of planning or finance, one from a climate-sensitive economic sector, and one from the national ministry responsible for climate and environment.
• The TTF model emphasizes sustained peer learning by reconvening the same teams and cohorts of international peers over time to build a community of support for the NAP process.
• TTF workshops are organized around three pillars: technical inputs from experts, relational opportunities for peer-to-peer experience sharing, and reflexive opportunities for countries to apply technical inputs to their specific national contexts.
• The Network has identified four primary topics for address: building political support for the NAP process, integrating adaptation planning across sectors and scales, financing NAP implementation, and monitoring and evaluation within the NAP process.
