The Nairobi work programme on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change (NWP) serves as a knowledge mechanism on adaptation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The NWP facilitates and catalyses the development and dissemination of information and knowledge to inform and support adaptation policies and practices.
