- 26. Discussion Questions 1. What arethe key benefits to adaptation processes provided by the LDCF? 2. What have been the main lessons learned in addressing adaptation through the NAPAs and what are the implications for support toward formulating and implementing NAPs? 3. How and where can the GEF and its Agencies help to support enabling environments that strengthen the process to formulate and implement NAPs at the country level in an effective and efficient manner?
