Climate info at different scales

1. Adaptation Across Scales
• Spatial
– Local
– Regional
– National
– Trans-boundary/regional
• Administrative or
jurisdictional
• Ecosystems/biomes –
watersheds, river basin
• Temporal
– Short-term (urgent and
immediate)
– Development planning
timelines
– Medium-term
– Long-term
– Transformative
adaptation

2. Planning cycles for different issues

3. Key issues for the NAPs
• Spatial
– Anchoring local plans
and action in the NAP?
– What boundaries make
sense?
– Prioritizing regions
– Horizontal and vertical
alignment
• Temporal
– Assessing temporal
trade-offs and priorities
– Aligning with other plans
– Reconciling project
timelines and cycles with
the long-term aspects of
the plans
