AdaptAction ACA-MED

The project is one of two components of the ACA-MED programme, which aims to promote the green transition and increase environmental and climate resilience of economies and communities in the region, leading to improved quality of life for men and women.

The project provides assistance to Southern Neighbourhood governments, at central level, promoting climate integration and planning across Ministries, and preparing the grounds for large scale investments, using a tested methodology (the AdaptAction methodology).

The project works in close coordination with the Local Climate Adaptive Facility – Advancing Climate Adaptation in the Southern Mediterranean (LoCAL ACA-MED) project.

Objectives

To enhance knowledge, climate governance, policies and action plans at national/central level for successful implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and to facilitate countries’ access to climate finance for adaptation.

  • Operational research to improve understanding of adaptation issues in the target countries.
  • Improving country capacities for climate adaptation at the national level, in particular for the effective inclusion of adaptation in sectoral policies, action plans, and governance instruments.
  • Leveraging funds to implement resilient and inclusive adaptation pathways, through AFD, EU, GCF and/or other donors.
