As part of the Cancun Adaptation Framework,
Parties established the Adaptation Committee to promote the implementation of enhanced action on
adaptation in a coherent manner under the Convention, inter alia, through the following
functions:
- Providing technical support and guidance to the Parties;
- Sharing of relevant information, knowledge, experience and good practices;
- Promoting synergy and strengthening engagement with national, regional and international
organizations, centres and networks;
- Providing information and recommendations, drawing on adaptation good practices, for
consideration by the COP when providing guidance on means to incentivize the implementation of
adaptation actions, including finance, technology and capacity-building;
- Considering information communicated by Parties on their monitoring and review of adaptation
actions, support provided and received.
