The AKP is a user-friendly gateway for disseminating and accessing a wide range of free and open-access knowledge products, from case studies and synthesis reports to vulnerability impact assessment tools and programme management frameworks about climate change adaptation and resilience. It can be searched by world region or by one of nine thematic areas.

The portal also provides an entry point to engage with the NWP’s diverse, global network and allows partners to submit joint or individual action pledges – commitments that respond to key adaptation knowledge needs and gaps identified under the NWP.

The Capacity-building Portal is an interactive tool that gathers and presents active information on projects, tools, courses, and other resources that enhance the capacity and ability of developing countries to respond to climate change at national and regional levels. It presents the information via an interactive world map that depicts an overview of all activities and capacity-building priority areas. The portal’s content can be filtered by region, country, year range, and by priority area.

In addition to presenting information on capacity-building activities per country and region the portal also lists e-learning courses, external capacity-building platforms, capacity-building events as well as news per theme, including for adaptation. Finally, it showcases capacity-building events and tools offered by the constituted bodies under the UNFCCC as well as by the operating entities of the Financial Mechanism.

The GAN was established by UNEP in 2010 and is a knowledge-sharing platform with the overarching aim of making the abundant economic, ecological and technological knowledge on adaptation accessible to the actors on the ground. As an umbrella organization spanning most continents, GAN is composed of many regional networks and partners, for example in Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa, each of which provides knowledge services in its respective region.

The GAN distributes and exchanges adaptation knowledge in a variety of ways, including through online portals, conferences, webinars, peer-to-peer learning exchanges, funding opportunities, research initiatives to close knowledge gaps, collection of case studies, and by supporting partnerships, stories, blogs and podcasts. These are organized or produced either by the global GAN or by one of its regional networks/partners.

The GAN has a unique relationship with the UNFCCC and closely cooperates, for example, with the Adaptation Committee and  the NWP

The NWP has been established in 2005 and strives to assist all Parties, in particular developing countries, to improve their understanding and assessment of impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, and to make informed decisions on practical adaptation actions. Serving as a knowledge-to-action hub it responds to knowledge needs identified by Parties and arising from the implementation of the Cancun Adaptation Framework, and other relevant workstreams and bodies under the Convention, and tries to close them through the dissemination of accessible knowledge products.

The NWP’s four core functions are: (i) engaging stakeholders; (ii) synthesizing knowledge; (iii) disseminating knowledge; and (iv) fostering collaboration. 

It works with an extensive network of partner organizations to produce knowledge products that decision-makers need to formulate and implement effective, evidence-based policies, such as national adaptation plans.

It convenes annual Focal Point Forums during sessions of the Conference of the Parties to provide an interactive space for national governments, partner organizations and thematic experts to enhance collaboration and to exchange knowledge, views and ideas.

Over time the NWP’s modalities, expected outcomes and areas of work have been evolving through successive mandates from Parties.

The UNFCCC climate finance data portal is a gateway to information on activities funded in developing countries to implement the Convention. In particular, it aims to assist Parties in tracking the Financial Mechanism of the Convention and the Paris Agreement and to inform the intergovernmental process under the UNFCCC and relevant stakeholders on the mobilization of resources to support developing countries in the implementation of adaptation and mitigation projects and other activities under the Convention and the Paris Agreement.

Through different modules the portal presents data and information on (i) provided financial resources as communicated by Parties contained in Annex II to the Convention (Annex II Parties)  through their fourth, fifth and sixth national communications as well as through biennial reports; (ii) resources provided by developed country Parties as part of their collective commitment to provide USD 30 billion for the period 2010 – 2012 as fast-start finance, and how developing country Parties have accessed them; (iii) financial flows channeled, mobilized and leveraged by the GEF; (iv) programme and project-level data channeled through the GCF; and (v) project data related to entities, projects and programmes financed under the Adaptation Fund.

The data is presented in tabular format or via interactive maps, graphics and figures and can be searched by applying different search filters.

The WASP succeeded the Global Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PROVIA) in 2018 and is hosted by UNEP. It focuses primarily on the provision of policy-relevant scientific knowledge to support the UNFCCC, the IPCC, the GCF, and the GEF, while giving priority to research needs in vulnerable developing countries. It facilitates the information exchange and usage amongst stakeholders to advance the science-policy-practice interface in the context of adaptation. The WASP identifies knowledge gaps and emerging research priorities and mobilizes and coordinates the broader adaptation community through regular activities like its biennial international Adaptation Futures Conference. Participants of these conferences benefit from learning and networking opportunities around a specific adaptation theme that is selected for each conference.

TT:Clear has been established in 2001 and is the UNFCCC’s website to facilitate the development and transfer of climate technologies. It houses information on climate technology negotiations, the Technology Executive Committee and its policy recommendations, as well as Technology Needs Assessments. In addition, visitors can discover technology projects from around the world and find ways to support and connect with the people behind them. They can also participate in climate-related technology events and connect with climate solutions via the Climate Technology Center and Network.
