The third National Adaptation Programme (NAP3) report will mark the beginning of a five-year implementation period. The report will include a clear set of objectives for adaptation, with policies and accompanying delivery mechanisms to meet those objectives. Progress indicators, aligned to risks and opportunities set out in our third Climate Change Risk Assessment will also be developed as part of the NAP programme and will help the programme have a more targeted and effective approach to monitoring.
