Mettre à profit le processus des plans nationaux d’adaptation pour les communications relatives à l’adaptation

The report provides guidance for developing countries to align their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with Adaptation Communications (AdComs) under the Paris Agreement. It analyzes trends among the 56 countries that have submitted AdComs, noting that most developing nations use either standalone documents or their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) as vehicles. The document outlines how countries at different stages of the NAP process—early stage, finalizing, or implementing—can use AdComs to consolidate information, advocate for support, or share lessons learned. It also highlights trends in gender integration, adaptation costing, and the use of case studies to demonstrate resilience.

• Developing countries have various flexible options for submitting Adaptation Communications (AdComs) to the UNFCCC, including standalone documents, integrating them into other reports such as National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), or National Communications (NCs), or submitting them jointly with other documents.
• As of April 30, 2023, 56 countries had submitted AdComs, with 39 being developing countries. Among these developing nations, 90% opted for either a standalone document or used their NDC as the vehicle for the communication.
• Countries at different stages of the NAP process can use AdComs strategically: those in early stages can consolidate national adaptation landscapes (e.g., Somalia and Namibia); those finalizing NAPs can advocate for implementation support (e.g., Liberia and Haiti); and those implementing NAPs can highlight monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) results (e.g., Burkina Faso, Saint Lucia, and Grenada).
• AdComs provide a mechanism for countries to define adaptation financing needs and gaps, often distinguishing between 'unconditional' funding (national resources) and 'conditional' funding (international aid). For example, Namibia estimated a need for $1.55 billion in conditional funding and $170 million in unconditional funding for 2021–2030.
• Gender integration is increasingly present in AdComs, with 23 out of 39 developing country submissions containing 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.
• Beyond international reporting, AdComs offer national value by facilitating information sharing with civil society and the private sector, providing data for funding proposals (such as to the Green Climate Fund), and identifying short-term priorities for countries that have not yet published a full NAP.
