Resume

Klimaforandringer truer med at underminere udviklingsresultater og øge fattigdommen. Sydbaserede nationale klimanetværker har i projektets første fase udviklet et sæt fælles principper for god klimatilpasning i fattige lande - "Joint Principles for Adaptation" (JPA. Principperne er blevet testet gennem fortalervirksomhed og i dialog med regeringer for at fremme nationale politikker for klimatilpasning, der støtter de fattige og mest sårbare grupper til at klare konsekvenserne at et klima i forandring. Den ny fase vil styrke netværkene i at få indflydelse på klimapolitikker og opnå international anerkendelse af principperne. Netværkenes kapacitet til anvendelse af principperne i den nationale og lokale kontekst skal styrkes; målet er at opnå konkrete forbedringer i politikker for klimatilpasning på nationalt og lokalt niveau som kan tilskrives arbejdet med principperne. Dokumentation af resultater og udfordringer skal bane vejen for bredere anerkendelse af principperne blandt internationale aktører og give klimanetværkene større gennemslagskraft i dialogprocesser og offentligheden.
