National Adaptation Plan Global Network Strategy to 2030

The NAP Global Network Strategy to 2030 aims to move developing countries from the formulation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) to active implementation. The strategy is built on three pillars: national-level technical support, South-South peer learning, and knowledge generation. Key priorities include supporting Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), enhancing monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems, and amplifying the voices of underrepresented groups and civil society. The Network seeks approximately USD 28–30 million over the strategy period to maintain its operations and support for partner countries.

• The Network's primary strategic theme for 2025–2030 is supporting the transition from planning to implementation to close the 'implementation gap' where countries risk losing momentum after the resource-intensive process of formulating a NAP.
• The strategy is organized around three pillars: providing tailored technical assistance for national-level action, facilitating sustained South-South peer learning through cohorts and 1:1 partnerships, and generating and sharing knowledge to inform NAP processes.
• The Network will prioritize a dedicated and flexible window of support for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), including the expansion of an embedded advisor model to ensure continuous implementation.
• A key priority is the development of practical, outcome-focused monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems to ensure adaptation efforts are iterative and can be reported on globally.
• The Network aims to increase the inclusion of civil society organizations (CSOs) and underrepresented groups, specifically women and people with disabilities, in national adaptation decision-making.
• The Network will enhance the 'NAP Trends' platform to provide more detailed analysis of NAP document structures, track updates to documents, and share examples of process outputs like financing strategies and gender analyses.
• The Network identifies several critical gaps hindering NAP progress, including a significant adaptation finance shortfall (estimated between USD 187 billion and USD 359 billion annually) and a lack of political leadership within some countries.
• To sustain its activities through 2030, the Network estimates a funding requirement of approximately USD 28–30 million, covering technical support requests, peer learning events, and Secretariat operations.
