Como Timor-Leste utiliza o processo do Plano Nacional de Adaptação (PNA) para fortalecer sua Adaptação Baseada em Ecossistemas (AbE)

Timor-Leste has utilized its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process to mainstream Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), linking environmental protection with climate action. The NAP, ratified in September 2020 and submitted to the UNFCCC in March 2021, identifies EbA as one of 14 guiding principles to maximize co-benefits between adaptation and environmental protection. The process emphasizes a systemic approach across five ecological zones and integrates traditional customs, specifically Tarabandu, to ensure community-led implementation and social cohesion in a post-conflict context. The government aims to align these efforts with its Strategic Development Plan 2011–2030 and international frameworks like the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework.

• Timor-Leste's National Adaptation Plan (NAP), submitted to the UNFCCC on March 31, 2021, establishes Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) as a core guiding principle to link ecosystem protection with climate action and support a systemic approach to climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
• The NAP includes 107 adaptation actions scheduled over a 10-year period (2020–2030), focusing on seven priority programs including ecosystem-based coastal disaster risk reduction and climate-resilient livelihoods, and seven priority sectors such as biodiversity and ecosystems.
• The government utilizes the traditional custom of Tarabandu—a system of public agreements and social consensus—as a primary entry point for implementing community-based EbA, which helps protect local biodiversity while promoting social cohesion and peace in post-conflict regions.
• Timor-Leste's EbA strategy is applied across five distinct ecological zones: marine and coastal, arid plains, mountains, high plains, and swamps and lakes.
• The NAP process integrates climate adaptation with other international commitments and national strategies, including the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs), and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP).
• To ensure accountability and evidence-based solutions, the government plans to establish a national Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting, and Learning (MERL) framework by 2022, including specific indicators for the biodiversity and ecosystems sector.
