Raising ambitions on climate adaptation: lessons learnt and contributions of regional governments

Based on a review of 11 key best practices within the past 5 years, from Regions4 and RegionsAdapt members, the report aims to show how regional governments have developed, implemented and raised the ambitions of their adaptation plans, and resilient climate actions, providing lessons learnt that can inform policymakers.

This Regions4 report for COP26 will be officially launched at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties.
