This year marks the 25^th anniversary of the UNFCCC entering into force. To help mark the occasion, the Adaptation Committee is publishing an updated version of its 2013 report on the state of adaptation under the Convention, titled 25 Years of Adaptation Under the UNFCCC. COP 25 therefore offers an opportunity to host an event to reflect on the history and future of adaptation under the UNFCCC process while officially launching the Adaptation Committee’s report. A LEG annual report on the progress on NAPs will be launched at the same time, enriching the discussion with a more focused discussion on the status of the landmark adaptation planning and implementation instrument under the UNFCCC.

The event will include an interactive panel and Q&A session.
