Targeted Topics Forums (TTFs) bring together policy-makers and practitioners to have focused, technical discussions on challenges and best practices related to the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. We held our second TTF in Jamaica in March 2016 on the theme of “Financing NAPs: Options for Implementation,” bringing together 42 participants representing 11 countries and five organizations.

In this podcast, we speak with some of the TTF attendees to find out about different approaches to the NAP process.

The Nation Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network (http://www.napglobalnetwork.org/) was created in 2014 to enhance support for national adaptation planning through peer learning and exchange, improved coordination, and supporting national level action on NAP development and implementation. The Network’s members include the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development as bilateral donors, as well as participants from more than 25 developing countries involved in creating and implementing national adaptation plans. Initial funding for the Network is provided by the United States and Germany. The Secretariat is hosted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
