Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development

2nd Targeted Topics Forum“Financing NAPs”March 15, Day 1

Opening Denise Herbol

Mission Director for USAID in Jamaica

Hon. Daryl Vaz

Minister responsible for the environment

and climate change

Anne introduced the Targeted Topics Forum as

a “space to allow for honest and practical exchanges around NAP processes.” The three day

forum will be an opportunity to discuss the progress we’ve

made, the challenges and questions we’ve encountered,

and what we have learned so far.

Climate change poses an existential threat to Grenada. But the majority of Grenada’s

adaptation costs have to come from external sources, which are less

predictable than domestic funds. The NAP should be structured in such a way that it ‘ speaks to’ its proposed domestic implementers

(i.e. it follows their ‘ sectoral’ approach) and has clear

Ownership.

Why does

integration of adaptation into

national budgets matter?

Togo is creating a

NAP reference document and a NAP process

financing strategy. Some challenges do remain,

include ministerial coordination and scaling

up the number of sectors involved.

Why track adaptation finance?

Adaptation has not been given enough attention in many

developing countries. The question is: How to make

business cases out of adaptation?
