Chapter 3. Assessing Global Progress on Adaptation Planning - Adaptation Gap Report 2020

This chapter seeks to assess how much progress has been made by 196 Parties to the UNFCCC, of which 189 are also Parties to the Paris Agreement, in constructing such plans and strategies. It further endeavours to assess whether these plans and strategies are effective and adequate in leading to enhanced adaptive capacity, strengthened resilience and reduced vulnerability as envisaged by the global goal on adaptation (art. 7.1 of the Paris Agreement).
