The Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary guidelines (referred to as the NAP-Ag Guidelines) responds to a call by the Least Developed Group (LEG) of the UNFCCC, inviting international actors to draft sectorial guidelines to the UNFCCC NAP Technical Guidelines. The NAP-Ag Guidelines aim to support developing countries in:
- reducing vulnerability of the agriculture sectors to the impacts of climate change by building adaptive capacities and resilience;
- addressing agriculture in the formulation and implementation of NAPs; and
- enhancing the integration of adaptation in agricultural development policies, progammes and plans.
The NAP-Ag Guidelines outline four elements and related steps for preparing the agriculture sectors’ contributions to NAPs.
