USAID Adaptation Community Meeting: What Next? Climate Adaptation After Paris

As the dust settles following COP21, we are rapidly sorting out what the Paris Agreement means in practice and what role the climate, development, and diplomacy communities should play in implementing it. The first in a series of dialogues on post-Paris climate adaptation, mitigation, and financing, this event featured a high-level discussion to explore what the Paris Agreement means for adaptation efforts globally. Speakers identified specific activities being undertaken to support those efforts, with particular attention to National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and the NAP Global Network.
