Introduction to the Adaptation Committee
As part of the
Cancun Adaptation Framework
, Parties established the Adaptation Committee (AC) to promote the implementation of enhanced action on adaptation in a coherent manner under the Convention. Since its establishment in 2010, the AC has become the United Nation's leading voice on adaptation. The sixteen-member body offers expert guidance on a range of adaptation topics, helping countries, civil society and businesses to build resilience and adapt to a changing climate.
The AC’s work with the NWP
The AC benefits from the wide range of technical expertise that the NWP and its partners provide in implementing its work plan, including support to:
deepen understanding of adaptation themes among Parties and stakeholders, and establishing partnerships for relevant collaborative action;
strengthen partnerships and promoting collaboration on closing adaptation knowledge gaps and scaling up adaptation action;
produce knowledge outputs and sharing information on relevant work and engagement opportunities with global network of partners;
promote collaboration with other constituted bodies on scaling up adaptation action.
The AC has invited the NWP to collaborate in implementing several activities as a port of its workplan, as well as provided recommendations and advice on the delivery of the NWP mandates.
