Foundations for common approaches to measure global adaptation actions in the agriculture sector: Highlights from an analysis of existing climate adaptation frameworks by Nowak, Andreea C., Rosenstock, Todd S.

“…"Climate adaptation has been on the back seat of the international policy agenda for many years; the Paris Agreement and relating Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) provide new momentum to frame adaptation as a global responsibility and to call for collective measurement approaches. n Decisions on potential global adaptation targets and measurements need to build on existing collections of frameworks, indicators and metrics that provide valuable learning opportunities, rather than reinventing processes. n Reviewing what national M&E systems already track in terms of adaptation may be a pertinent way to advance discussions on how the GGA can be translated into practice via bottom-up, country-driven approaches."…”
