Global review and assessment on multi-level national adaptation planning for system transformation

Developing a framework for the review and assessment of the quality of NAPs of developing countries

“How to scale up multi-level adaptation by integrating climate adaptation considerations into decentralized governance processes and resources –examples through the CGIAR initiative on Climate Resilience.”

 Panel members will draw on their extensive experience and knowledge of multilevel coordination for national adaptation planning through a diverse range of examples on transformative climate innovations and adaptation technologies.

Key questions for discussion:

• What are the most important knowledge gaps and how can they be overcome during the adaptation planning process?

• What are the opportunities for multi-level climate adaptation governance and planning processes that help steer development in resilient directions and encourage coordination and collaboration??

• How can different levels of governance effectively collaborate and coordinate their efforts in the context of national adaptation planning?

• What are the key considerations for integrating adaptation planning across sectors and levels of governance?

• How can capacity building and knowledge sharing be effectively promoted to enhance multi-level national adaptation planning for system transformation?
