This brief, prepared by AdaptationWatch, puts the case that because not all countries have equal capacity to adapt to climate change, and because those with the least capacity are hit first and hardest by impacts, it is critical that the Paris Agreement’s capacity building provisions are implemented successfully.
To do this, the authors argue, climate leaders must learn from existing work under other international regimes to ensure the effectiveness of their programs. This includes support for long-term capacity building, with recipient countries taking ownership of the work.
The authors analyzed data in development agency reports, and derive policy pointers from their findings. These are as follows:
The brief is a summary of a chapter in the forthcoming 2017 AdaptationWatch Report, to be released at COP23 in November 2017. SEI is a partner in AdaptationWatch.
