Compared to mitigation where there is substantial effort to measure and monitor progress towards country targets much less headway has been made on measuring and tracking adaptation. Without specific, measurable targets and suitable indicators, progress towards broad adaptation goals cannot be assessed. As you will discover by exploring the maps, country fact sheets and graphs below, while many countries articulate a theoretical commitment to adaptation actions this rarely translates into clear targets. Even where measurable targets are set, it is unclear whether these draw on the best available science and local knowledge or whether they will be sufficient to meet the adaptation needs of the communities and ecosystems involved.
