As countries work to enhance the implementation of their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the intersection of climate adaptation, health, and nutrition remains a critical yet underexplored area. Addressing these linkages is essential for ensuring that climate policies are people-centered, equitable, and effective in promoting long-term resilience.

This South-South webinar aims to foster knowledge exchange between African and Latin American countries, highlighting success stories, opportunities, and challenges in integrating climate adaptation, health, and nutrition into NAPs and NDCs. The discussion will center on practical policy implementation strategies, financing priorities, governance structures, and technical capacity-building needs to advance these efforts.

By convening key stakeholders, this webinar will enable cross-regional dialogue, facilitate partnerships, and promote the adoption of effective policies and approaches that strengthen national adaptation planning and implementation.

Launching during the webinar, the new AfriCatalyst policy papers — “Climate Change and Nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa: Challenges and Pathways for Investment,” “The Climate and Health Nexus: Country Priorities, Best Buys, Challenges, and Opportunities,” and “Climate Change and Water Resources: Leveraging High-Resolution Data for Adaptation and Resilience” explore how climate impacts essential sectors like nutrition, health, and water. These papers offer evidence-based insights and actionable recommendations to guide investment and policymaking for a more resilient and inclusive future in Sub-Saharan Africa.
