The Republic of Suriname is recognized as the most forested country in the world and contributes significantly to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. Suriname, however, is forced to take urgent adaptive measures to cope with the impacts of global warming. Mindful of the Sustainable Development Goals, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for Suriname is a national initiative designed to effectively address climate-related challenges in the pursuit of sustainable development. The NAP received support from the United Nations Development Programme’s Japan-Caribbean Climate Change Partnership (J-CCCP).

The objective of the NAP is to enable Suriname to conduct comprehensive medium and long-term climate adaptation planning. It is a flexible approach that builds on the country’s existing adaptation activities and mainstreams climate change into national decision-making, development planning, policies and programs. The NAP will align the country's future efforts with the broad objectives of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and outline actionable groundwork for the integration of climate change considerations into national strategic and sectoral planning and budgeting processes.
