Summary
Benin has been implementing a nationally led National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process since 2013, integrating climate adaptation into national and communal development plans. The process has progressed through milestones including capacity building, vulnerability studies, and the 2022 launch of the NAP document. Priority sectors for adaptation include agriculture, health, ecosystems, infrastructure, freshwater resources, energy, coastlines, and tourism, addressing impacts such as floods, sea level rise, droughts, and excessive heat.
Key insights
- Benin's NAP process, which began in 2013, utilizes a nationally led approach to integrate climate change adaptation into sectoral, local, and national development planning, including the National Development Plan, SDG targets, and Communal Development Plans.
- The NAP process has reached several key milestones: a launch workshop in 2013, capacity building in 2017, integration into the National Health Development Plan and National Development Plan in 2018, the launch of vulnerability studies in 2022, and the subsequent launch of the NAP Document.
