Reporting on progress in national adaptation plan processes: An analysis
The NAP Global Network prepared this analytical report to provide insights into and practical examples of progress reporting with the intent to encourage its adoption as an integral part of countries’ NAP processes. Based on a review of NAP progress reports, this report analyzes various methods countries use to track their adaptation progress and highlights important lessons and good practices.
The analysis reveals that countries use progress reporting for various purposes, including providing updates on the status of NAP activities, assessing the effectiveness of the NAP process, and tracking how climate change adaptation is being integrated into development planning and budgeting. Moreover, progress reporting helps build capacity and the identification of successes and challenges in NAP implementation. Inputs from progress reports are also crucial to supporting the Paris Agreement implementation, addressing both national and international reporting requirements and advancing the Global Goal on Adaptation.
