Accelerating Climate-Resilient Recovery: NAP Global Network Progress Report 2020-2021
As the COVID-19 pandemic continued through 2021, managing risk and building resilience remained at the top of the global agenda. As countries deal with the climate crisis in tandem with the COVID-19 crisis, the resilience-building measures prioritized in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) offer a roadmap for resilient recovery that can address these multiple risks. This progress report on the NAP Global Network’s activities from December 2020 to November 2021 highlights our work to support developing countries’ efforts on national adaptation planning and action.

The NAP Global Network was created in 2014 to support developing countries in advancing their NAP processes and help accelerate
adaptation efforts around the world. To achieve this, the Network facilitates South-South peer learning and exchange, supports
national-level action on NAP formulation and implementation, and develops analysis, communications, and knowledge products. The
Network’s members include individual participants from more than 150 countries involved in developing and implementing National
Adaptation Plans, as well as 12 donor members. Financial support for the Network has been provided by Austria, Canada, Germany,
Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The opinions stated in this report do not necessarily reflect the policies or opinions
of the Network’s funders or participants.
The NAP Global Network Secretariat is hosted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), an independent think
tank championing sustainable solutions to 21st–century problems. Our mission is to promote human development and environmental
sustainability. We do this through research, analysis, and knowledge products that support sound policy-making. Our big-picture
view allows us to address the root causes of some of the greatest challenges facing our planet today: ecological destruction, social
exclusion, unfair laws and economic rules, a changing climate. IISD’s staff of over 120 people, plus over 50 associates and 100
consultants, come from across the globe and from many disciplines. Our work affects lives in nearly 100 countries. Part scientist, part
strategist—IISD delivers the knowledge to act.
IISD is registered as a charitable organization in Canada and has 501(c) (3) status in the United States.
