Comoros - National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)

Executing Agency:
Directorate of Environment, Ministry of Social Affaris, Telecommunications and the Environment
Implementing Agency:
UNEP - United Nations Environment Programme
Summary:

National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Comoros.

Description

The objectives of NAPAs are: - To serve as simplified and direct channels of communication for information relating to the urgent and immediate needs for adaptation - To facilitate capacity building for the preparation of initial national communications, and addressing urgent and immediate adaptation needs.

Project Components:

Activity 1: Establishment of the NAPA Team and the Regional Multidisciplinary assessment Task Force (RMTF) A project workplan.

Activity 2: A Draft Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) Review Report, A public domain documentation resource pack on climate change, vulnerability and adaptation, A Report on Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA)

Activity 3: The three regional consultation workshops will result in a more detailed inventory of areas of vulnerability to climate change in Comoros; priortised adaptation measures (categorised by sector and region); and, an initial set of criteria for prioritisation of adaptation measures for Comoros.

Activity 4: The key outputs for activity 4 will be a priority listing of adaptation measures for each sector and each region as well as a national level priority listing of urgently needed adaptation measures with the requisite criteria.

Activity 5: The output for this activity will be an updated NAPA (in both summarised and extended formats), which will have incorporated the comments received during the public review by the RMTF with assistance from the sectoral and eco-system leaders.

Activity 6: The two key outputs from this activity will be (i) the final NAPA (in both summarised and extended formats), and (ii) the endorsement letter from the GEF focal point in Comoros.

Activity 7: The key outputs will be the published versions of NAPA reports in French and Arabic and widespread national dissemination.

Expected Outputs:

Activity 1: Establishment of the NAPA Team and the Regional Multidisciplinary assessment Task Force (RMTF) A project workplan.

Activity 2: Synthesis of available information on adverse effects of climate change and participatory assessment of vulnerability to current climate variability

Activity 3: Identification of key adaptation measures and development of country driven criteria for prioritisation of adaptation measures

Activity 4: Development of proposals for prioritisation of adaptation measures using criteria

Activity 5: Public review of the draft NAPA proposal

Activity 6: Review of updated NAPA by Government, civil societies, and endorsement by the GEF focal point

Activity 7: Finalising and dissemination of the NAPA

Cambodia - National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)

Executing Agency:
Ministry of Environment
Implementing Agency:
UNDP
Summary:

National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Cambodia.

Expected Outputs:

The main objective of the NAPA is to identify priority activities and urgent actions needed by a Least Developed Country (LDC) to expand the current coping range and enhance resilience in a way that would promote the capacity to adapt to current climate variability and extremes, and consequently to future climate change.

Project Status:
Completed. NAPA final report submitted to UNFCCC in March 2007.
Financing Amount:
