Human and institutional capacities

The ability of stakeholders and institutions to coordinate adaptation processes as well as to use and manage climate information.

Session 3 Introduction of tools developed by NAP-GSP partners and collaborators Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Asia Regional Training Workshop

Long term vision and mandate

Common understanding on long term objectives for national development taking climate change into account, as well as a mandate to align key process with this vision.

Mainstreaming

The process of integrating adaptation into development processes at all planning levels, including national, sectorial and communal policy documents and programs.

Participation

The involvement of representatives from private entities, different sectorial public administrations, civil society and NGO. Involving women´s representatives is especially important since women are often disproportionally affected by climate change.

Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)

Monitoring climate change impacts, financial resources, and adaptation performance, as well as monitoring and evaluating adaptation results provides valuable information for adaptation planning and decision-making. M&E systems for adaptation ensure effective resource allocation, improve accountability, strengthen steering adaptation plans and activities and foster learning on adaptation.
