Papua New Guinea’s first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2022-2030 is designed as a strategic framework to support efforts led by Papua New Guinea’s Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) to address climate change impacts. The NAP defines a series of cross-cutting strategies to strengthen institutional capacities and the ability to effectively mainstream climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction and management in priority sectors. These include sectoral and provincial planning and instruments. It also establishes sectoral strategic actions to be implemented through sectoral CCA plans in accordance with the Climate Change Management Act 2022 (Amended).
