Summary:

Adapting to climate change will entail a variety of responses, including policies to improve management of climate related risks by enhancing adaptive capacity while easing pressure on resources. The pressure on resources has been linked to a number of causes, key among them population dynamics.

  • Implementing Agency:
    UNDP
    Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
    Secretariat of State for Environmental Coordination, Territorial Ordinance and Physical Development
    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 East Timor.

    Climate Related Hazards: To be determined. 

    Main Human Vulnerabilities and Livelihood Impacts: To be determined.

    Project Components:
    • 1.To set up Institutional structure for the preparation of the NAPA document
    • 2.To conduct participatory assessment of vulnerability to current climate variability
    • 3.To identify key climate change adaptation measures and develop proposals for priority activities to address the adverse effects of climate change
    • 4.To prepare the NAPA document in the format established by the COP
    • 5.To have the NAPA document endorsed by the national Parliament, Council of Ministers and the Prime Minister
    • 6.To disseminate the final NAPA document to the public.
    Expected Outputs:
    • Output 1.0: Institutional structure for preparation of NAPA document established
    • Output 2.0: Vulnerability to current climate variability assessed
    • Output 3.0: Potential climate change adaptation measures formulated and prioritized
    • Output 4.0: The National Adaptation Programme of Action Prepared and Endorsed

Summary:
Background

The National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) platform is aimed at providing informational support to NAPA country teams, implementing agencies (UNDP, UNEP and World Bank), vulnerability and adaptation experts, and other partners providing NAPA technical assistance. It aims to facilitate the delivery of technical assistance to NAPA teams formulating their NAPA documents, particularly with regards to the synthesis of existing vulnerability and adaptation information, and the formulation of relevant adaptation projects profiles.
