L’Alignement pour faire progresser le développement résilient face aux changements climatiques

The document provides practical guidance for countries to align their national policy processes to achieve climate-resilient development. It emphasizes the role of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) as a key link between international commitments and operational implementation. The briefing outlines the relationships between global programs and national policies, identifies enabling factors such as institutional arrangements and capacity building, and proposes a four-step approach to defining alignment goals. It also provides a framework of key questions to help countries identify entry points for alignment across synergies, process mapping, and financing.

• Climate-resilient development can be advanced by aligning national policy processes across three global frameworks: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
• National policy processes are structured in three tiers: national development visions (the foundation), national commitments to international programs (such as NDCs and SDG targets), and operational means (such as sector plans and National Adaptation Plans).
• The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process is a critical linkage point because it is designed to integrate climate change adaptation into development policies and initiatives across different sectors and levels of government.
• Effective alignment requires three primary enabling factors: institutional arrangements to facilitate coordination between ministries (e.g., environment, planning, and agriculture), robust information sharing across government levels and stakeholders, and capacity building in both technical and facilitation skills.
• Countries can define their alignment objectives through a four-step process: identifying willing actors, deciding which processes to start with, agreeing on the desired level of alignment (ranging from informal to systematic), and expressing the desired outcome.
• Alignment can occur either within a single program—such as using the NAP process to operationalize adaptation commitments in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)—or between different programs, such as aligning NAP processes with Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies.
