Background

Under its decision 4/CP.21, the Conference of the Parties (COP) requested the Subsidiary Body for
Implementation (SBI) to assess progress made in the process to formulate and implement national
adaptation plans (NAPs) at its forty-eighth session (April–May 2018), with a view to making
recommendations thereon to the COP, as appropriate.
As part of the actions and steps for the assessment, the COP requested the Least Developed Countries
Expert Group (LEG), in collaboration with the Adaptation Committee, to organize a meeting of Party
experts, to consider the progress made towards the achievement of the objectives of the process to
formulate and implement NAPs, experiences, best practices, lessons learned, gaps and needs, and
support provided and received, with a view to providing a summary of progress made in the process to
formulate and implement NAPs.
