The guide will support urban planners and other decision makers working on climate change issues to better understand linkages of the NAP process to broader goals and ambitions laid out in NDCs. Thus far, 113 countries have included urban or urban-related adaptation priorities in their NDCs, with 73 focused on city-level adaptation action. The NAP process helps countries achieve more resilient and sustainable urban development, which is critical to achieving SDGs 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and 13 (climate action).
