Measuring progress in climate adaptation

Presentation summary

The webinar aims to give some practical approaches to measuring adaptation, from boundary organization and policymaker’s perspectives. By showcasing these experiences, the webinar will highlight how different actors in different contexts conceptualize and assess adaptation progress, which methodologies are prioritized and why. The webinar will also examine the role boundary organizations can have in informing and strengthening national-level tracking and reporting processes, ultimately linking back to multilateral processes like the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA).

Learning objectives :

• Showcase concrete examples of how boundary organizations and policymakers are developing and applying adaptation measurement frameworks, tools, and indicators across different contexts

• Surface key challenges, gaps, and priority areas for future work in measuring adaptation

• Contribute to a shared understanding of how diverse efforts can complement and support national and global adaptation tracking and reporting processes

• Highlight the value of the boundary organization model in bridging science, policy, and practice to generate actionable insights on adaptation progress
