Tool for integration of ecosystems into climate change adaptation planning processes, DRAFT

The core objective of the tool is to help facilitate an efficient process for consideration of ecosystems within the National Adaptation Planning (NAP) planning process. To achieve this, there are two discrete steps involved in using the tool, which link closely with the UNFCCC’s NAP Technical Guidelines. This structure will help a NAP Planning Team to explore the issues relevant to both the current phasing of national government planning and also the government’s local policy priorities pertaining to ecosystems and biodiversity.
