NAP Expo: Launching of the NAP process in LDCs
|
|
|
|
Date: 9 June 2013
Venue: Beethovenhalle, 16 Wachsbleiche, 53111, Bonn, Germany.
The NAP Expo was held as an event to catalyse the launching of the national adaptation plan
(NAP) process at the national level in least developed countries (LDCs).
It was conducted by the LDC Expert Group (LEG), with the support of the
secretariat and in collaboration with relevant organizations. It took place in conjunction with
the thirty-eighth session of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) under the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Mandate:
At COP 17, the LEG was mandated to provide technical guidance and support to the NAP process in LDCs
(decision 
5/CP.17, paragraph 13). SBI 37 requested the LEG, with the support of the
secretariat and in collaboration with relevant organizations, to organize an LDC NAP event in
conjunction with the thirty-eighth session of the SBI, taking into account its existing priority
activities with respect to the LDC work programme (FCCC/SBI/2012/33,
paragraph 65).
Objectives:
Using the technical
guidelines for the NAP process that were prepared by the LEG as a basis, the NAP Expo
aimed to:
- Promote a common understanding of the NAP process by going through the NAP guidelines;
- Provide an opportunity for the LDCs to communicate their plans for the formulation of NAPs;
- Provide a platform for Parties, agencies and organizations to share information on their support
to the LDCs on NAPs;
- Offer a forum for the exchange of experience and best practices on planning, prioritizing and
implementation of adaptation.
The LEG welcomed the participation of representatives from LDCs and other Parties, the GEF and its agencies, adaptation practitioners, organizations,
development agencies, regional centres and networks, as well as individual experts.
