Renforcer l’adaptation Harmoniser le plan national d’adaptation avec les contributions déterminées au niveau national

The document analyzes the synergy between NAPs and NDCs, finding that while most countries show partial alignment, the 2025 NDC update offers a strategic opportunity to better integrate adaptation priorities, improve data quality, and attract international finance.

• An analysis of 57 countries that submitted multisectoral NAPs to the UNFCCC shows that 82% referenced the NAP process or committed to developing one in their NDC, and 87% of NAP documents established a direct link to the country's NDC.
• The degree of alignment between NAPs and NDCs typically falls into three categories: 'partial alignment' (68%), 'no alignment' (16%), and 'full alignment' (16%). Full alignment occurs when the NAP is explicitly designated as the primary mechanism for adaptation planning and implementation, with identical priorities in both documents.
• The timing of document submission significantly impacts integration; 96% of the 26 countries that submitted their NAP before or in the same year as their NDC referenced the NAP in the latter, whereas only two-thirds of NDCs mentioned the NAP when the NAP was submitted after the NDC.
• Inconsistent terminology regarding 'adaptation priorities'—ranging from 'strategic objectives' and 'programs' in NDCs to 'sectoral adaptation priorities' and 'cross-cutting measures' in NAPs—complicates the comparison and evaluation of coherence between the two documents.
• The 2025 NDC update is identified as a critical opportunity to use the NAP process to enhance the visibility of adaptation, integrate nature-based solutions, and highlight country-specific loss and damage needs.
