National Adaptation Plan (NAP) development can facilitate cross-sector planning between the agriculture, forestry, water and energy sectors.
Negotiators should:
- Encourage domestic budgets to fund NAPs.
- Encourage existing development and sector policies to integrate national adaptation plans.
- Ensure sufficient stakeholder engagement is undertaken early and often, particularly engagement with the private sector.
What do you think: Is cross-sector planning an additional challenge for National Adaptation Plans? Or does it in fact enable better outcomes? How would cross-sectoral planning play out in the context of vulnerable countries?
