From Country Priorities to Global Signals: A step-by-step guide to adaptation indicators for national monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems

Countries left the Bonn Climate Change Conference last week without an agreement on issues related to the global goal on adaptation. This stalemate was partly due to disagreement among countries over the next steps and the composition of a task force to improve the Belém Adaptation Indicators (BAIs), the 59 voluntary indicators adopted at the […]

What It Looks Like to Integrate Effective Learning Into National Adaptation Plan Processes

  Adapting to the impacts of climate change demands significant shifts in attitudes, behaviours, and practices, both among those directly affected and among policy and decision-makers. For instance, farmers may need to transition away from cultivating crops that are highly sensitive to climate hazards. At the same time, policy-makers must systematically integrate climate change adaptation […]

Online Course on Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning for National Adaptation Plan Processes

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems are essential to understanding whether national adaptation plan (NAP) processes work, how they work, and for whom, while offering insights to improve climate change adaptation actions. This course will equip climate change adaptation professionals with key methodologies, tools, and practical skills for implementing effective MEL systems for NAP processes. […]

How to Integrate Learning Into Climate Adaptation Policy Processes

View Report The effectiveness of climate change adaptation decision making largely depends on how well governments and other actors embed deliberate learning into the policy process. Indeed, research shows that learning does not happen automatically—it needs to be created and nurtured.   In the new report Integrating Learning in the National Adaptation Plan Process, Julie Dekens […]

Are We Adapting? 10 lessons from countries tracking progress on their climate change adaptation efforts 

How do we know if National Adaptation Plans (NAP) are making a dent in reducing vulnerability? NAP progress reports play a critical role in assessing a country’s climate change preparedness and advising on next steps. They consolidate the information gathered from monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) activities and encourage countries to continuously learn, adapt, and improve on their climate change adaptation efforts.
