Article 7 of the Paris Agreement established the Global Goal on

Adaptation as “enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience

and reducing vulnerability to climate change, with a view to

contributing to sustainable development and ensuring an adequate

adaptation response in the context of the temperature goal.”

Through Decision 3/CMA.4 from COP 27 on the Global Goal for

Adaptation, Parties decided to “initiate the development of a

framework for the global goal on adaptation to be undertaken

through a structured approach under the Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh

work programme in 2023, … with a view to the framework being

adopted at COP 28.” The decision further articulates that

the framework may take into consideration, inter alia:

One of the objectives of the Glasgow Sharm el-Sheikh work programme (GlaSS) is to “enhance understanding of the global goal

on adaptation, including of the methodologies, indicators, data and metrics, needs and support needed for assessing progress

towards it” (Decision 7/CMA.3 Article 7b). The sixth GlaSS workshop (June 4 and 5, 2023 in Bonn, Germany) is to focus on: “Zooming

in: Target-setting, metrics, methodologies and indicators for the GGA as well as steps of an iterative adaptation cycle and means of

implementation.”

To support that process, the UN Foundation, in partnership with the Adaptation Research Alliance, Adaptation Without Borders,

Alliance for Global Water Adaptation, Argentina 1.5, the Climate Policy Institute, the International Center for Integrated

Mountain Development, the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidiﬁcation and the World Resources Institute have made

a compilation of indicative targets and indicators from selected existing international agreements. The list of sources compiled

include six international agreements highlighting internationally agreed indicators, and 19 documents from global or regional

initiatives and institutions (see point 4 below for the full list). We also included all of the indicators suggested through the GlaSS

process through submissions, targets and indicators used by Climate Funds and Multilateral Institutions, as well as proposed

indicators where there are gaps in coverage. Proposed indicators are highlighted in blue font. In each case the source of the

target and/or indicator has been documented.

Introduction

(a) Dimensions (iterative adaptation cycle): impact, vulnerability and risk assessment; planning; implementation; and

monitoring, evaluation and learning; recognizing that support in terms of ﬁnance, capacity-building and technology transfer

is a consideration in each stage of the cycle;

(b) Themes: water; food and agriculture; cities, settlements and key infrastructure; health; poverty and livelihoods;

terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems; and oceans and coastal ecosystems; tangible cultural heritage; mountain regions;

and biodiversity;

human rights approaches, intergenerational equity and social justice, taking into consideration vulnerable groups,

communities and ecosystems, and nature-based solutions, and based on and guided by the best available science including

science-based indicators, metrics and targets, as appropriate, traditional knowledge, knowledge of indigenous peoples and

local knowledge systems, ecosystem-based adaptation, nature-based solutions, community-based adaptation, disaster

risk reduction and intersectional approaches with a view to integrating adaptation into relevant socioeconomic and

environmental policies and actions, where appropriate.

This is an illustrative compilation of indicators and targets

that can be considered relevant to the GGA. This document

is intended to support negotiators in making choices about

the structure of the framework, the potential targets

and indicators that could be included, and the potential

development of new targets and indicators where needed.

This document is not intended as a suggestion of what the

ﬁnal GGA framework should look like.

This exercise aims to illustrate and support the position

that a GGA framework could be based on existing

indicators, in order to avoid additional burden on

countries. We acknowledge that new indicators may

be needed to reﬂect country priorities, to be grounded

in locally-led and bottom-up processes that engage

stakeholders in indicator and metric development, and

to capture adaptation issues that are not currently well

tracked or that may arise in the future due to climate

changes. However, these indicators may not need to be

included in a global GGA framework, but rather in national

and subnational processes. We acknolwedge this document

is not a systematic nor comprehensive review of all

indicators that could be relevant for countries, and that

there may be gaps in the compilation.

This document is not intended as a suggestion of what the

ﬁnal GGA framework should look like, nor do we suggest

that the GGA requires an extensive list of globally agreed

targets and indicators a long list of indicators, but rather

aims to highlight potential overlaps and synergies with

other international frameworks.

The GGA should aim to accommodate a diversity of

metrics, build on existing systems to avoid additional

burden on countries, and strengthen national Monitoring,

Evaluation and Learning systems and capabilities

(Beauchamp & Józeﬁak, forthcoming). Metrics should be

both quantitative and qualitative and provide contextual

richness in addition to aggregable metrics. We also

recognize that indicators and targets for monitoring

collective progress on the GGA must be accompanied by

evaluation and learning exercises. As such, the information

in this compilation must be considered within the wider

potential evaluation and learning roles and processes that

can be adopted under the GGA.

A NOTE ON STRUCTURE, THEMES AND

CROSSCUTTING ELEMENTS:

For ease of navigation, this document presents

separate tables for each element of the adaptation

cycle, using the deﬁnitions of the UN Climate Change

regime for the dierent elements of the policy cycle.

Each dimension has multiple rows including

overarching considerations and thematic

considerations, following the structure proposed by

Argentina, on behalf of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay

at the ﬁfth GlaSS workshop.

This compilation has consolidated the themes

suggested in the COP 27 decision following the

grouping suggested by Canada in its submission

to the GlaSS work programme in February 2023.

We acknowledge these are not agreed and may

change in future negotiations. We use the following

groupings:

• HEALTH AND WELLBEING including food, water,

health, cultural heritage, society;

• INFRASTRUCTURE including cities, settlements, key

infrastructure, energy and industrial infrastructure;

• ECONOMY AND WORKERS including poverty and

livelihoods, mobility and migration;

• NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY including terrestrial

and freshwater ecosystems, oceans and coastal

ecosystems, mountain regions, polar regions and

biodiversity.

Finally, cross-cutting considerations are presented

in the ﬁnal column of each table. These have also

been clustered, using the clustering proposed

during the ﬁfth GlaSS workshop (March 20-22,

2023): equity, environment, capacity building,

and interconnectedness. These may also change

in future negotiations. A digital version of this

compilation can obtained by request from
