Following a mandate from the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA), the Adaptation Committee is compiling an inventory featuring different methodologies Parties use to assess what is required to address their adaptation needs. These needs relate to adaptation action as well as finance, capacity-building and technological support required in the context of national adaptation planning and implementation. This inventory seeks to be a valuable depository of information for decision makers at all levels. (See the CMA.1 report, in particular decision 11.CMA.1, paras. 15-17 for the full context).

The pilot version of the inventory was launched in early July 2020 and remains open for more methodologies and case studies on an ongoing basis.

Race To Zero is a global campaign to rally leadership and support from businesses, cities, regions, investors for a healthy, resilient, zero carbon recovery that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs, and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth.  

Led by the High-Level Climate Champions for Climate Action – Nigel Topping and Gonzalo Muñoz– Race To Zero mobilizes actors outside of national governments to join the Climate Ambition Alliance, which was launched at the UNSG’s Climate Action Summit 2019 by the President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera.

The objective is to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonized economy ahead of COP26, where governments must strengthen their contributions to the Paris Agreement. This will send governments a resounding signal that business, cities, regions and investors are united in meeting the Paris goals and creating a more inclusive and resilient economy.
