    70 countries have a national #adaptation plan (#NAP), but less than 40% are tracking its implementation❗ More attention is needed on the quality of adaptation planning & how effective it is in facilitating #climateaction. #PreCOP26 #GST ➡New article:

    The Bonn #climatechange negotiations #SB60 saw a lot of attention on #NDCs. Importantly, as a governance instrument NDCs rely on strong #transparency mechanisms. I've outlined five recommendations for research on NDCs in this new piece in @Env_Pol #UNFCCC

    #NDCs are at the heart of the #ParisAgreement. What's their role in the Paris architecture and how do we account for implementation? Here's a summary of the five recommendations for NDC analysis from my recent article in @Env_Pol :

    @UNFCCC @GRI_LSE The agenda of the workshop provides ample space to discuss the design of the #GGA #framework which follows the recommendations of submissions by observer organisations including from @GRI_LSE

    Highest temperatures ever in #UK show how essential, but also how hard & costly #adaptation is. And it will get MUCH worse since emissions continue to rise!🔥Hence, adaptation MUST not take attention away from mitigation - only reducing the causes of warming can spare the worst!

    As 🇩🇪's ForeignMinister rightly said "nobody wants to imagine the adaptation pressures and losses we would face without serious action to curtail #climatechange. This is why decarbonising our economies & accelerating the global energy transition is &must remain the key priority."
