The Nigerian government has adopted a behavioral change framework in order to mainstreaming these climate change risks based on the following plan of action: 

Output 1: Dynamic, long-term planning mechanisms to manage the inherent uncertainties of climate change introduced.

Activity Results 1.1: UNDP: A strengthened and streamlined national dialogue and policy formulation process for climate change adaptation, leading to an evidence-based National Climate Change Policy and National Strategy/Adaptation Plan.

Activity Results 1.2: UNDP to drive, with inputs from UNICEF and UNIDO: Raise awareness of the likely impacts of climate change and adaptation needs, linked to the national dialogue and policy formulation process for climate change adaptation, developed and implemented at the national, state and local level, in order to build broad and informed coalitions for climate change.

Activity Results 1.3: UNICEF: Further strengthen the climate responsiveness of key sectoral policies through advocacy based on evidence generated through the actions of the AAP (Africa Adaptation Programme).

Output 2: Leadership capacities and institutional frameworks to manage climate change risks and opportunities in an integrated manner at the local and national levels strengthened.

Activity Result 2.1: UNDP: Build a sound and unified platform for mainstreaming climate change adaptation through strengthening key focal institutions, building the capacity of overarching ministries, and developing coherent coordination mechanisms for climate change.

Activity Result 2.2: UNICEF: Proactively develop the future Nigerian leadership for responding to climate change by empowering children to become change agents who can advocate for behavioral elements in their communities.

Output 3: Climate-resilient policies and measures in priority sectors implemented.

Activity Result 3.1: UNICEF: Build groups of climate-resilient people through improving knowledge and skills for climate change adaptation at the basic education level, through hands-on experience and developing problem solving skills.

Activity Result 3.2: UNICEF: Foster systems to enhance learning for climate resilience focusing on teaching capability, experiential learning in environmental clubs, awareness raising and community engagement and dialogue with the school as the centre for action.

Activity Result 3.3: UNIDO: Promoting adaptation to climate change by reducing flooding through development of small hydro power generation at the Ochokwu river in Apa local government area of Benue State (to be integrated with agricultural interventions to increase production and post-harvest storage as adaptive responses).

Activity Result 3.4: UNIDO: Promoting adaptation to climate change by developing more adaptive farming practices, through agricultural interventions to increase production and reduce post-harvest losses by processing agricultural products as adaptive responses in the Ochokwu river vicinity in Apa local government area of Benue State (to be integrated with SHP generation to unlock diversification activities), with an emphasis on gender equality and youth employment.

Output 4: Financing options to meet national adaptation costs at the local, national, sub-regional and regional levels expanded.

Activity Result 4.1: UNDP: Strengthened technical and leadership capacities of key financial and planning institutions, as well as key line ministries, at the national and sub-national levels to secure, expand and/or re-align funds to support climate change adaptation.

Activity Result 4.2: UNDP: Expanded national resource envelope in Nigeria to support climate change adaptation, through development of private sector possibilities for funding adaptation activities; and through the global Adaptation Fund.

Output 5: Knowledge on adjusting national development processes to fully incorporate climate change risks and opportunities generated and shared across all levels.

Activity Result 5.1: UNDP: Key institutions document and disseminate knowledge on adjusting development actions in order to adapt to climate change, and Nigeria develops and implements a robust framework to monitor and adjust adaptation actions.

Activity Result 5.2: UNICEF: Enhanced evidence and knowledge generation for climate change adaptation through a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on Nigeria’s children, and through exploring the emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction needs of Nigeria under a changing climate.

Activity Result 5.3: UNDP, UNICEF & UNIDO: Communication strategy developed for the AAP in Nigeria and implemented as an integral part of the programme

São Tomé and Príncipe will adopt the following plan of action to reduce risks associated with climate change:

Output 1: Dynamic, long-term planning mechanisms to cope with the inherent uncertainties of climate change introduced.

• National stakeholders generate and apply critical information for improved and climate-resilient decision making.
• Created climate change adaptation multi-stakeholder platform on Climate Change Adaptation to advise on Activity Result 1 and other programme activities.

Output 2: Strengthen leadership and institutional frameworks to manage Climate Change risks and opportunities at local and national levels.  

• Strengthened leadership and technical capacities of national government in addressing CC risks and opportunities.
• Created climate change adaptation multi-stakeholder platform on climate change adaptation, and design strategy for best Climate Change coordination platform for lessons learned.  

Output 3: Climate Change proof national and sectoral policies, and design, test and implement priority Climate Change measures.

• Implemented climate-resilient policies in priority sectors.
• Implemented four pilot activities in Lobata region.

Output 4: Financing options to meet national adaptation costs expanded at the local, national sub-regional and regional levels.  

• Market-based, fiscal, financial and/or other instruments assessed and designed for facilitating dynamic adaptation to climate change.  
• Investigated and explored pilot of microfinance activities on Climate Change that support adaptation.

Output 5: Generate and share across the African continent knowledge on adjusting national development processes to incorporate climate change risks/opportunities.  

• Key institutions document, disseminate, and influence policy and programmatic responses for adaptation in priority sectors.  
• Set up peer-review learning-in-action programmes to generate and disseminate new knowledge on adaptation to climate change
