The article highlights the importance of using climate-resilient development pathways (CRDPs) to ensure inclusive national adaptation planning. CRDPs emphasize the integration of climate adaptation and sustainable development efforts, particularly focusing on multi-actor coordination to include various societal groups. It identifies gaps in the implementation of national adaptation plans, especially in areas like disaster risk reduction, monitoring and evaluation, and economic diversification. The author suggests that enhancing collaboration between governments, civil society, and marginalized groups can help improve adaptation efforts by addressing socio-economic vulnerabilities.

Key recommendations include:

• Incorporate IPCC's climate-resilient development framework into national adaptation processes.
• Strengthen multi-actor coordination between governments, civil society, and vulnerable groups to ensure equitable adaptation efforts.
• Expand disaster risk reduction efforts at sub-national levels to mitigate social and economic vulnerabilities.
• Encourage economic diversification by including marginalized voices in adaptation planning.
• Improve monitoring and evaluation of adaptation actions to track their effectiveness and inclusivity.
