NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN (NAP) APPROACH: KEY OBSERVED & ANTICIPATED CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS PRIORITY SECTORS FOR ADAPTATION

Malawi initiated its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process in 2014, completing a stocktaking exercise and establishing a roadmap. The process is managed by a core team of adaptation experts collaborating with cross-sectoral experts to identify long-term priorities. To support this, Malawi submitted a NAP formulation proposal to the Green Climate Fund with technical assistance from UNEP. The document identifies key climate impacts—including wildfires, drought, floods, rainfall variability, and increasing temperatures—and priority sectors for adaptation such as agriculture, fisheries, health, infrastructure, energy, forestry, water, wildlife, and gender.

• Since launching the NAP process in 2014, Malawi has completed a stocktaking exercise, created a NAP process Roadmap, and formed a core team to manage the process.
• Malawi has sought funding for its NAP formulation through a proposal submitted to the Green Climate Fund, developed with technical support from UNEP.
• The NAP approach identifies specific climate change impacts—wildfires, drought, floods, rainfall variability, and increasing temperatures—and targets priority sectors including agriculture, fisheries, health, infrastructure, energy, forestry, water, wildlife, and gender.
