National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA)

The National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) are plans that developing countries create to identify urgent climate change impacts and outline practical steps to adapt. These plans focus on immediate needs, such as protecting communities from droughts, floods, or changing weather patterns. NAPAs help countries prioritize actions to reduce vulnerabilities, improve resilience, and manage climate risks, often with support from international organizations. They serve as a strategic roadmap for addressing climate challenges, ensuring that vulnerable populations are protected and that efforts are targeted effectively.
