dc.descriptionSuccessful adaptation results in increased resilience and adaptive capacity and reduced vulnerability in the context of a changing climate. Article 7.1 of the Paris Agreement established a Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) to “enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, and reduce vulnerability to climate change, with a view to contributing to sustainable development and ensuring an adequate adaptation response in the context of the temperature goal” (UNFCCC 2016). Article 7.1, therefore, aims at a level of adequacy of adaptive response that is commensurate with the temperature goal of Article 2 of the Paris Agreement. Other provisions in the Paris Agreement provide for all parties to engage in and communicate their efforts to plan, implement and monitor adaptation (UNFCCC 2016). The GGA can drive gender responsive, participatory, and fully transparent adaptation action. It can support vulnerable countries, populations and ecosystems, mitigation ambitions, and countries’ progress towards resilience, equity and sustainability.en
