Webinar: Developing a Health National Adaptation Plan: Quality criteria for HNAPs [1]

[]

Date: 2024-09-25

25th September 2024: 9:30 – 11:00 and 15:00 – 16:30

Background

WHO is conducting a series of technical webinars on various climate change and health topics with the aim of building capacity for implementation at country level. These webinars will integrate training, experience sharing, interactive activities and group discussion.

The first series of webinars will explore specific topics related to:

Conducting a climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessment

Developing a Health National Adaptation Plan

Accessing climate finance for health

Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable health care facilities

Building on the webinar “Introduction to developing a Health National Adaptation Plan” to developing a Health National Adaptation Plan”, this session will dive deeper into the topic, focusing on the quality criteria of Health National Adaptation Plans (HNAPs).

The Quality Criteria provide examples of best practices in the development of HNAPs to help countries create a comprehensive, practical, and implementable plan. These criteria are designed to assist countries in establishing a solid foundation for a long-term, evolving HNAP process. While the criteria offer guidance, they are not prescriptive and should be tailored to the unique and shifting contexts of each country, changing climate conditions and advancements in knowledge and technology.

The quality criteria for HNAPs covers six topic areas: (1) Leadership and enabling environment, (2) Cross-sectoral coordination and policy coherence, (3) Comprehensive coverage of climate-sensitive health risks, (4) Comprehensive coverage of adaptation options and actions, (5) Resourcing, (6) Monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

The webinar will cover an introduction to the quality criteria, followed by the sharing of country experiences and interactive small-group activities and discussions.
