New tools linked to NDCs and adaptation action

Dear Climate-L readers,

We are pleased to inform you that there are two new tools linked to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adaptation action online on the website www.adaptationcommunity.net:

-       the NDC Adaptation Toolbox

The Tool for Assessing Adaptation in the NDCs (TAAN) is an interactive knowledge platform that aims to provide an overview of and detailed information on adaptation in the (Intended) Nationally Determined Contributions ((I)NDCs). In particular, it demonstrates objectives, priorities and vulnerabilities as well as country adaptation actions and measures as indicated in the (I)NDCs.
The current version of the online tool comprises two main sections:
-       A Quick Facts section which provides answers to relevant questions about the (I)NDC adaptation components enabling users to access key statistics around (I)NDC adaptation components. The section includes general infographics that summarise the most important data from (I)NDC adaptation components and a subsection devoted to aggregated sector-specific information.
-       A Country Information section with an interactive World Map which allows to access country-specific information. In this section, users may explore the content of and the differences between various (I)NDC adaptation components and compare measures that are planned and have been undertaken by different countries. Moreover, users may access individualized country factsheets.
In early 2018, the tool will be expanded with an Infographics section which allows users to individually create graphs based on a variety of filter options. This section will thus enhance the website’s function as an open data platform valuable for a very wide range of potential users.

The NDC Adaptation Toolbox offers you various instruments to facilitate the development and implementation of adaptation measures for achieving NDC adaptation goals. Most instruments were originally developed in the context of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. As such, the NDC Adaptation Toolbox is organized along a policy cycle of various stages. The stages comply on the one hand with the different NAP elements as outlined by the NAP Technical Guidelines, developed by the Least Developed Countries Experts Group, and, on the other hand, with the NDC implementation guideline developed by UNDP and WRI.
The stages are:
-       Stocktaking and Information Gathering
-       Planning
-       Developing Implementation Strategies
-       Implementing Adaptation Activities Examples
-       Monitoring & Evaluation
Along with the various stages, the Toolbox comprises two cross-cutting enabling factors, which are essential for the implementation of NDC adaptation goals, namely “Governance and Institutions” and “Capacity Building”. In addition, “NAP Process Country Case Studies” illustrate the complete process.
All instruments were proven successful in mainstreaming and implementing adaptation actions in various countries by GIZ.

Yours sincerely,
Navina Sanchez
