Decision 2/CMA.5 adopted the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Framework for Global Climate Resilience, which has the purpose of guiding the achievement of the global goal on adaptation and the review of overall progress in achieving it with a view to reducing the increasing adverse impacts, risks and vulnerabilities associated with climate change, as well as to enhance adaptation action and support. The Framework contains, among other things, a set of seven thematic targets and a set of four targets corresponding to the four dimensions of the iterative adaptation cycle.
Through paragraph 44 of the same decision, the Adaptation Committee (AC), in collaboration with the Consultative Group of Experts (CGE) and the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG), was invited to support the implementation of the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience with technical guidance and training materials thereon.
The AC is convening this side event to inform Parties and interested stakeholders of early plans in relation to this work and to gather input from Parties and other interested stakeholders to help inform and prioritize next steps, also including a follow up survey.
