The final day of the workshop began with reports back from the breakout groups and discussions of the recommendations on integrating adaption across levels, economic sectors, and hazards. Panelists reflected on perspectives for adaptation planning including on gender-sensitive approaches to adaptation, ecosystems approaches to integration of adaptation, inclusion of stakeholders in planning processes, and use of national adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) in least developed countries (LDCs). In the afternoon, partner organizations presented pledges and provided updates on adaptation actions. Breakout facilitators and Chair Helen Plume highlighted information sharing, development of tools and guidelines for integration, identification of appropriate entry points, legislative and policy frameworks and stakeholder consultation, as important for integration of approaches to adaptation. Chair Plume closed the meeting at 3:07 p.m. |
