BÉNIN

Benin has been implementing its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process since 2013, focusing on integrating climate adaptation into national, local, and sectoral development planning. The process has involved national consultations via the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC) and the integration of adaptation goals into the National Development Plan, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, and various communal development plans. Key climate impacts identified include floods, sea-level rise, droughts, and excessive heat, affecting priority sectors such as agriculture, health, ecosystems, infrastructure, freshwater resources, energy, coastal zones, and tourism.

• Benin's NAP process began in 2013 and utilizes a national-level approach to embed climate adaptation into development planning across national, local, and sectoral levels, involving stakeholders through the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC).
• The NAP process has achieved integration of climate adaptation into the National Development Plan, the definition of SDG targets, and several communal development plans.
• The document identifies specific climate impacts—including heavy and late rains, floods, sea-level rise, droughts, excessive heat, and violent winds—that affect priority sectors such as agriculture, health, ecosystems, infrastructure, freshwater resources, energy, coastal zones, and tourism.
• Major milestones in the NAP process include a 2013 start workshop, capacity building for national and sectoral actors in 2017, integration into health and national development plans in 2018, the launch of vulnerability studies, the hosting of the first Francophone Forum on the NAP process in 2022 for 11 countries, the launch of the NAP document, and the submission of an adaptation communication to the UNFCCC.
