To strengthen resilience to the impacts of climate change, OECD countries have made adaptation to climate change a national priority, as illustrated by the wide adoption of national adaptation strategies (NAS) or plans (NAPs). Understanding and measuring progress in implementing those is critical to understand how adaptation actions actually contribute to strengthening climate resilience, and whether they do so effectively.
However, countries face difficulties in measuring progress towards NAP implementation as well as broader resilience goals. This is notably due to conceptual and methodological challenges of measuring the outcomes of adaptation actions as well as the difficulty of identifying appropriate indicators to demonstrate progress. Recent OECD Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation events highlighted these existing challenges and the concurrent critical need for measuring progress in implementing national adaptation policies.
The Korea Environment Institute (KEI) / Korea Adaptation Centre for Climate Change (KACCC) and the OECD held a side event at the Korean Pavilion on 14th of November during the COP 27 in Sharm el-sheik, Egypt. At this event, scholars, experts and high-level representatives from governments of Korea, Chile and the United Kingdom came together to share technical insights on adaptation measurement framework and experiences of monitoring and evaluation of climate change adaptation in different countries. Speakers and panellists shared Insights from the initial work, notably in-depth country level analyses of Korea and a cross-country stock-take of Korea's adaptation measurement frameworks.
