Aprovechar el proceso del Plan Nacional de Adaptación para las Comunicaciones sobre Adaptación

The report provides guidance and analysis on leveraging National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes to develop Adaptation Communications (AdComs). It details flexible submission options, analyzes trends among developing countries—particularly regarding gender integration and climate finance—and shares lessons from the NAP Global Network's support of 22 partner countries to streamline reporting and enhance the visibility of national adaptation priorities.

• Adaptation Communications (AdComs) are voluntary and flexible reporting instruments under Article 7 of the Paris Agreement designed to increase the visibility of adaptation needs and priorities without imposing additional burdens on developing countries.
• Countries have three flexible options for submitting AdComs: as a standalone document, as part of a 'vehicle' document (such as a NAP, Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), National Communication (NC), or Biennial Transparency Report (BTR)), or in conjunction with another document via cross-references.
• The report identifies that countries at different stages of the NAP process can leverage their progress for AdComs: those in early stages use them to consolidate information (e.g., Somalia and Namibia), those finalizing plans use them to advocate for implementation support (e.g., Liberia and Haiti), and those in the implementation phase use them to share monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) results (e.g., Burkina Faso, Saint Lucia, and Grenada).
• Analysis of 39 AdComs from developing countries shows that most include the four primary elements requested by Decision 9/CMA.1 (national circumstances, impacts/risks, priorities/plans, and implementation needs), with a high prevalence of submissions from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
• AdComs are increasingly used to articulate specific adaptation finance needs, utilizing frameworks such as total aggregate costs, conditional versus unconditional financing, or sector-specific estimates. For example, Somalia estimated adaptation financial needs at 58.5 billion USD for 2021-2030.
• Gender integration is a significant trend, with 23 out of 39 developing country AdComs including a dedicated section on gender. Some countries, such as Ecuador, Nigeria, and Vietnam, specifically highlight women as agents of change rather than just vulnerable groups.
• Lessons from the NAP Global Network's support of 22 countries indicate that AdComs provide national value by facilitating stakeholder communication, supporting Green Climate Fund (GCF) proposals, and identifying short-term funding priorities.
