This NAP Readiness proposal seeks to create five sector-specific adaptation plans aimed at bolstering the government's capacity to guide Iran's adaptation efforts.

The primary objective of this proposal is to ensure that Iran develops the essential technical and institutional capabilities and mechanisms required to strategically plan, execute, oversee, and communicate inclusive and robust climate adaptation measures across key sectors such as water, food/agriculture, energy and health systems, as well as disaster risk management (DRM). Upon the conclusion of this project, Iran aims to have established five comprehensive sectoral adaptation plans, in addition to two concept notes outlining the process for integrating and synthesis of these sectoral plans into a cohesive national adaptation strategy.

GCF support will also enhance coordination among various institutions strengthening the facilitative environment and will energize national initiatives and ensure active participation of all concerned government agencies, academia, the private sector, civil society and especially people in vulnerable situation. The proposed program and securing GCF support will benefit from synergy of already embedded programs and will facilitate the scaling up by attracting the private sector investment from national and international investors and donors. In addition, the tools and methodologies as well as monitoring and evaluation framework developed will enable NAP process in other sectors.
