Unlocking the full potential of National Adaptation Plans

Adaptation is no longer an option; it has become a global challenge that requires not only action on the ground but also coordinated international mobilisation.

Financing adaptation and resilience is critical for global financial stability, thriving communities and natural ecosystems. Building on the momentum of the climate finance goals established at COP29, the global community now has a pivotal opportunity to position National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) as central vehicles for channelling investments and partnerships, aligning economic needs with a climate-resilient development. 

This session will bring together political leaders, public finance institutions as well as banks, investors, insurers and technical partners to examine how NAPs can be transformed into investable frameworks, offering clear economic signals, enhancing risk management strategies and driving implementation.

The discussion will focus on identifying financial instruments that can channel finance flows into adaptation and provide insights on how to turn NAPs into actionable strategies.
