The EUROCLIMA+ programme will support the strengthening of the Paraguayan government's capacity to adapt to climate change through the work of an analyst integrated in the adaptation department of the Climate Change Directorate of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADES).

On 15 July 2021, the government of Paraguay updated its NDC and, within this, the First National Communication on adaptation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In the context of fulfilling this commitment, the main challenge in the area of climate change adaptation is that government entities have the capacity for empowerment, coordination and the necessary knowledge to lead climate action in their fields of work. 

To meet this challenge, the EUROCLIMA+ programme proposes that the work of the expert integrated in MADES should cover two interconnected areas: planning and coordination of actors for adaptation to climate change and monitoring and evaluation (National M&E System) of action on adaptation.
