Assessments and Background Documents

The objective of the NAPA is to produce a list of priority actions that are urgent and immediate and that contribute to the efforts of adaptation of the country to the adverse effects of climate change and integrate it into the D.R.Cs development strategies. These will benefit from the support of interested donors since the country has very limited internal capacities of adaptation. The actions will also include human and institutional capacity building. 

One of the primary objectives of Cape Verde's NAPA is the identification and outlining of urgent and immediate actions for expanding and broadening the range of climate change coping strategies applied to small communities in order to improve their capacity of adaptation to the current climatic variability, extreme events, and, consequently to future changes.

The objective of the NAPA is to produce a list of priority actions that are urgent and immediate and that contribute to the efforts of adaptation of the country to the adverse effects of climate change and integrate it into Burundi's development strategies. These will benefit from the support of interested donors since Burundi has very limited internal capacities of adaptation. The actions will also include human and institutional capacity building. 

National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change; those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following is the NAPA for Benin.
