Panorama dos PNA: Iniciando a Integração Vertical: vinculando processos nacionais e subnacionais de planejamento de adaptação

The document defines Vertical Integration as the strategic linking of national and sub-national efforts in climate adaptation. It emphasizes that this process ensures adaptation considerations are integrated across all levels of government and society, leveraging local expertise to support vulnerable groups. The text identifies institutional frameworks, information sharing, and capacity development as the three key drivers of this integration. It further explains that while decentralization provides a strong foundation for Vertical Integration by shifting decision-making closer to citizens, countries with less advanced decentralization must find alternative ways to engage sub-national actors.

• Vertical Integration is an interactive process designed to create strategic links between national and sub-national efforts across three main dimensions: planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation (M&A). In planning, it ensures processes are interlinked through dialogue; in implementation, it coordinates access to resources and skills; and in M&A, it ensures that local learnings influence national actions and vice versa.
• There are three primary factors that trigger Vertical Integration within the NAP process: institutional frameworks, the sharing of information, and the development of capacities.
• Decentralization serves as a critical foundation for Vertical Integration by applying the principle of subsidiarity, which aims to keep decision-making and resource allocation as close to citizens as possible. This is particularly relevant given that climate risks, such as floods and droughts, are localized. Countries with advanced decentralization can leverage existing mechanisms, while those without them must seek alternative engagement strategies.
• Effective Vertical Integration requires a commitment from the national adaptation focal point or agency to an inclusive and participatory process. This involves recognizing the role of sub-national actors and ensuring that the NAP generates benefits for ecosystems, communities, and vulnerable groups.
