including for multi-level governance and monitoring and evaluation
The technical examination process on adaptation (TEP-A) was established at COP 21 as part of the enhanced action prior to 2020 in the decision adopting the Paris Agreement. The process is organized by the SBSTA and SBI and conducted by the Adaptation Committee (AC).
