OUR PROGRAM
The NAP Global Network worked with the Ministry of the Presidency of Guyana and the Japan-Caribbean Climate Change Partnership, administered by the UN Development Programme, from 2016 to 2020 to ensure the effectiveness of the country’s NAP process.
We boosted public awareness on climate change adaptation processes through communications training programs for media and government staff. Our efforts focused on strengthening NAP awareness by developing targeted communication products, including a public service announcement and dedicated government website focusing on climate change.
