To better address the impacts from climate change, OECD countries are increasingly making climate change adaptation a policy priority. Assessing progress in the implementation of national adaptation policies is a critical step in understanding how adaptation efforts contribute to strengthening climate resilience, and whether they are effective.
How has experience in adaptation policy design and implementation evolved?
What are the remaining challenges for countries in measuring progress?
Join a discussion with OECD and country experts on Measuring Progress in Adapting to a Changing Climate. Building on a cross-country survey and country case studies carried out in Chile, Korea, the Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom, the talk will focus on a new OECD report, which provides insights into current practices in measuring climate adaptation. It proposes a framework that can guide countries on what needs to be measured and how, and discusses the role that adaptation indicators and a conducive institutional environment can play in strengthening adaptation measurement.
