Lao PDR has successfully submitted its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to the UNFCCC. The development of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is critical for the Lao PDR to serve as a foundation for implementing adaptation interventions in order to reduce the impacts of climate change. The NAP has established various adaptation measures covering both medium-termand long-term periods, whereby the NAP can be improved and further developed periodicallybased on the country's characteristics and contexts. The agreed objectives of the NAP are to: * reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change by building adaptive capacity and resilience; and * facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing policies, programmes and activities, in particular development planning processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate. * achieve national targets for climate change adaptation by 2035, following a green and sustainable direction.
