Adapt Sustain Thrive
National Adaptation Plan, Led by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC) with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the NAP strengthens Pakistan’s capacity to plan, finance, and implement climate adaptation measures for resilient communities and ecosystems.
We Are Building Climate Resilience Across Pakistan
The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) serves as Pakistan’s primary framework for addressing the growing impacts of climate change through systematic, long-term adaptation planning. It enhances institutional, technical, and financial capacities to integrate climate resilience into national and provincial policies, development planning, and budgeting. Led by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC), with technical support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the NAP provides a coordinated approach to safeguard communities, ecosystems, and economic sectors most vulnerable to climate risks. The Plan emphasizes evidence-based decision-making, cross-sectoral collaboration, and locally driven adaptation measures that strengthen water management, agriculture, urban resilience, and disaster preparedness. By linking national priorities with global climate commitments, NAP represents a strategic step toward achieving a climate-resilient and sustainable future for Pakistan.
