REGIONSADAPT BRIEF FOR ACTION – How to apply the Global Goal on Adaptation and its indicators to local and regional realities?
Through Regions4 and the RegionsAdapt initiative, more than 80 regions worldwide are actively planning and acting on adaptation. Over the past decade, Regions4 has also played a central role within the Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) constituency, co-coordinating adaptation advocacy and ensuring subnational voices are reflected in UNFCCC processes.
Building on this advocacy work, this brief now aims to support members more directly by translating global discussions into practical guidance, helping regions strengthen and accelerate their adaptation action on the ground.
The brief specifically aims to:
– Inform subnational governments of international frameworks on adaptation.
– Provide knowledge as to how the framework can inform local and subnational planning for adaptation.
– Provide recommendations on how to align global and subnational monitoring and reporting on adaptation.
