Synthesis report on adaptation action 2019
This Synthesis report on adaptation action, dubbed the "Adaptation Book", is the first of its kind that Climate Chance Observatory publishes, in partnership with French NGO Comité 21.
It tells the political and conceptual story of adaptation in international climate negotiations, before analyzing subnational and local governments initiatives through global reports and case studies. Then were studied adaptation issues raised and answers provided in six sectors of the economy, to finally conclude with an overview of financial flows and tools for adaptation.
This Synthesis report, made up of three other 3 Books dealing with sector-based action, action of local and subnational government and action of financial actors, is a unique source of case studies and examples, analyzing strategies of actors to mitigate GHG emissions and adapt to changing climates at national and local levels, this is a toolbox facilitating the understanding major trends of emissions.
