Policy Brief on the Global Goal on Adaptation’s “Belém–Addis Vision” And the Operationalization of the Belém Adaptation Indicators
This briefing highlights key considerations from the perspective of water and sanitation practitioners on how the different elements of the Belém–Addis Vision could be implemented effectively, and how we can support these processes.
It is targeted recommendation from the perspective of practitioners working on climate-resilient water and sanitation systems in regard to the GGA CMA7 decision, outlining:
- The adoption of the Belém Adaptation Indicators (GGA decision annex and operative paragraphs);
- The use of the indicators to assess progress toward the targets of the Global Goal on Adaptation and to inform future global stocktakes;
- A technical paper by the UNFCCC secretariat analyzing the indicators and existing synthesis processes (para 16);
- A technical workstream under the subsidiary bodies to develop technical guidance for the operationalization of the Belem Adaptation Indicators, including improving metadata and methodologies (paras 21-23);
- The establishment of a technical taskforce to support this work (para 23); and
- Engagement of relevant UNFCCC constituted bodies and expert processes (para 24).
These perspectives will valuably contribute to the Belém–Addis Vision and the Operationalization of the Belém Adaptation Indicators, find out more by reading the brief below!
