National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) are comprehensive strategies developed by countries to address the impacts of climate change at a national level. These plans aim to assess the vulnerabilities and risks posed by climate change to various sectors such as agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, health, and ecosystems. NAPs outline specific policies and measures that countries can take to tackle these changing conditions.
In the context of the European Union, the legislation concerning NAPs primarily falls within the broader climate policies and strategies established by the EU. Here are some examples:
EU’s Adaptation Strategy:
The EU’s Adaptation Strategy, adopted in 2013, provides a framework for member states to develop their own adaptation strategies and plans to address change impacts and integrate adaptation measures into various policy sectors.
National Adaptation Frameworks:
EU member states are encouraged to develop National Adaptation Frameworks, which aim to facilitate the integration of adaptation considerations into national policies, planning, and decision-making processes.
Financial Support and Coordination:
The EU provides financial support to assist member states in implementing their adaptation plans through various funding mechanisms, such as the European Structural and Investment Funds.
Climate Legislation and Policies:
The EU has established ambitious climate goals, including targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability across sectors. NAPs are expected to align with these broader climate policies and contribute to achieving the EU’s climate objectives.
Monitoring and Reporting:
The EU encourages member states to regularly monitor and report on the implementation and effectiveness of their adaptation measures. Reporting mechanisms ensure transparency and accountability in the progress of adaptation actions.
The EU’s legislative framework emphasizes the integration of adaptation into various sectors and policies, fostering collaboration among member states, and providing support through funding and knowledge-sharing initiatives. By encouraging the development and implementation of NAPs, the EU aims to enhance resilience and preparedness in the face of climate change impacts across its member states.

In 2020, she decided to move back to Italy, where she applied for her second Master’s Degree in Foreign Languages for International Communication (Università degli Studi di Torino). In 2021, she had the opportunity to move to Strasbourg as an Erasmus student for almost one year, at the end of which she made of that city her new home. Currently in the process of writing her master’s thesis, in her free time Marina enjoys travelling, singing, walking in the nature, solving crosswords puzzles, and mostly looking around for vegan food.
国家适应计划是各国为在国家一级应对气候变化影响而制定的综合战略。这些计划旨在评估气候变化对农业、水资源、基础设施、卫生和生态系统等各个部门造成的脆弱性和风险。国家行动方案概述了各国为应对这些不断变化的条件可以采取的具体政策和措施。
就欧洲联盟而言,有关国家行动方案的立法主要属于欧盟制定的更广泛的气候政策和战略。以下是一些示例:
欧盟的适应战略:
2013年通过的欧盟适应战略为成员国制定自己的适应战略和计划提供了一个框架,以应对变化影响并将适应措施纳入各个政策部门。
国家适应框架:
鼓励欧盟成员国制定国家适应框架,旨在促进将适应考虑纳入国家政策、规划和决策进程。
财政支助和协调:
欧盟通过各种筹资机制,如欧洲结构和投资基金,提供财政支持,协助成员国实施其适应计划。
气候立法和政策:
欧盟制定了雄心勃勃的气候目标,包括减少温室气体排放和促进跨部门可持续性的目标。国家行动方案有望与这些更广泛的气候政策保持一致,并有助于实现欧盟的气候目标。
监测和报告:
欧盟鼓励成员国定期监测和报告其适应措施的执行情况和有效性。报告机制确保适应行动进展的透明度和问责制。
欧盟的立法框架强调将适应纳入各个部门和政策,促进成员国之间的合作,并通过资金和知识共享举措提供支持。通过鼓励制定和实施国家行动方案,欧盟旨在提高其成员国面对气候变化影响的复原力和准备能力。
