Abstract

This report covers the work of the Adaptation Committee between September 2021 and September 2022. It presents the Committee’s main achievements during the reporting period and also contains organizational and procedural information, including on meetings and changes in membership and co-chairing arrangements. The report summarizes the Committee’s progress in implementing its flexible workplan for 2022–2024 in the areas of promoting overarching coherence; awareness-raising, outreach and information-sharing; and providing technical support and guidance to the Parties on adaptation planning, implementation and reviewing of progress. It also contains recommendations for consideration by the Conference of the Parties and the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement.
