The overall purpose of this scoping study is to provide a state-of-the art overview of the Albanian national context in regard to the application of NbS approaches for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR). The study relies on the available and accessible data and information originating from existing policies, programmes and strategies (global, regional and national/local), taking into account data collected on past and ongoing initiatives, projects and activities in Albania on NbS for DRR, as well as impacts on climate change and the environment. It includes a brief overview of the current developments in Albania concerning NbS and their application in the Albanian context, followed by semi-structured interviews and discussions with selected key partners and relevant national stakeholders.
