What are the NAPA?
  • Developed under the UNFCCC to identify priority
    activities addressing the urgent and immediate
    needs and concerns of the least developed
    countries (LDCs), relating to adaptation to the
    adverse effects of climate change
  • NAPA are designed to coordinate and communicate
    priority actions to existing adaptation funding
    mechanisms
  • Developed by national NAPA teams including
    representatives of key stakeholders and broader
    teams to collect information from the various
    sectors on expected impacts, vulnerability and
    adaptation measures

3
What do NAPA contain?
  • Overview of projected impacts
  • Vulnerability analysis of sectors
  • Adaptation potentials
  • List of ranked priority adaptation activities and
    short profiles of each activity. Designed to
    facilitate the development of project proposals
    for implementation of the NAPA. 467 priority
    activities proposed in the 44 NAPA fall into
    12 main areas

Overview Priority Activities in NAPA

Why a review of FIAQ in NAPA?
  • Analysis examined importance of Fisheries and
    aquaculture in NAPAs in order to
  • Better understand priorities for the sector
  • Better plan and integrate within FAO, with
    partners and with governments
  • Inform FIAQ and CC worlds
  • Identify gaps
  • Limitations
  • Used existing documentation
  • Integrated-cross sectoral approach fully
    supported

6
FIAQ in NAPA
  • The sector was deemed important in relation to
    climate change adaptation (mentioned in 36 of 44
    NAPAs),
  • Many NAPA have marine and coastal zones Priority
    Activities (CZM, afforestation, conservation,
    infrastructure, etc).
  • 47 Priority Activities targeting FIAQ

Gaps?
  • The sector is important and recognized in the
    majority of the NAPA (36 of 44) 15 have deeper
    analysis, 21 only mention briefly the fisheries
    sector. 10 of PA
  • Regional fisheries and transboundary
    management/issues - These are not explicitly
    covered in NAPA (NAPA based on national
    priorities). River basins (watersheds), LMEs
  • Secondary impacts should be analysed more
    systematically (eg watershed management for
    irrigation, flood protection, mangrove
    replanting)
  • Definition of vulnerability was not consistent
    across NAPA and often limited to exposure to
    physical changes.

What next?
  • Implementing through dedicated funds (e.g. LDCF
    SCCF Adaptation Fund, National, IGO, CSO/NGO,
    bilateral)
  • If underrepresented (e.g. important for food
    security) in NAPA, support the NAPA revision, NAP
    and national processes - Broader consultation
    with fisheries and aquaculture sector needed at
    national level.
  • Integrated/cross-sectoral and regional projects
    need good interagency/inter-ministry/regional
    coordination
  • Transboundary issues for fisheries need to be
    considered
  • Support the UNFCCC LDC Expert Group

Sector priorities by country
  • Aquaculture (9 NAPA priority activities in
    Bangladesh (2) Cambodia Guinea Gambia Malawi
    Mali Vanuatu Zambia)
  • Fishing techniques (4 NAPA priority activities in
    Comoros Maldives Sao Tome and Principe (2))
  • Protection of the fisheries resources (7 NAPA
    priority activities in Guinea Guinea Bissau
    Kiribati Mauritania Tuvalu Yemen)
  • Post-harvest sector improvements (2 NAPA priority
    activities in Comoros Togo
  • Research (3 NAPA priority activities in Sierra
    Leone (2) Solomon Islands)
  • Early warning (4 NAPA priority activities in
    Malawi and Chad(2)

13
Approved linked projects
  • Bangladesh Community Based Adaptation to
    climate change through coastal afforestation
    aims at re-creating the mangrove cover along the
    coastlines, involving the local communities in
    the management of plantation, protection and
    stress-reduction activities.
  • Cambodia project titled Building capacities to
    integrate water resources planning in
    agricultural development which addresses fish
    stock management as an element of integrated
    rural livelihoods.
  • Djibouti Reducing impacts and vulnerability of
    coastal productive systems focus on three
    strategic areas policy, ecosystem rehabilitation
    and disaster prevention.
  • Gambia Strengthening climate change early
    warning systems addresses the lack of capacity
    in the countrys sectors.

14
Approved linked projects
  • Guinea Increased resilience and adaptation to
    adverse impacts of climate change in vulnerable
    coastal zones targets coastal policies at
    national and sub-national level. ,
  • Haiti Strengthening adaptive capacities to
    address climate change threats on sustainable
    development strategies for coastal communities
  • Liberia Enhancing resilience of vulnerable
    coastal areas to climate change risks promotes
    the adoption of ICZM in order to strengthen the
    adaptive capacity of the coastal areas to climate
    hazards like sea level rise,
  • Maldives Integration of climate change risks
    into the safer island development programme
    addresses the NAPA Pas 1 and 2 for strengthening
    the Safer Island Strategy
