70 countries have a national #adaptation plan (#NAP), but less than 40% are tracking its implementation❗ More attention is needed on the quality of adaptation planning & how effective it is in facilitating #climateaction. #PreCOP26 #GST ➡New article: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The Bonn #climatechange negotiations #SB60 saw a lot of attention on #NDCs. Importantly, as a governance instrument NDCs rely on strong #transparency mechanisms. I've outlined five recommendations for research on NDCs in this new piece in @Env_Pol #UNFCCC

#NDCs are at the heart of the #ParisAgreement. What's their role in the Paris architecture and how do we account for implementation? Here's a summary of the five recommendations for NDC analysis from my recent article in @Env_Pol : tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Highest temperatures ever in #UK show how essential, but also how hard & costly #adaptation is. And it will get MUCH worse since emissions continue to rise!🔥Hence, adaptation MUST not take attention away from mitigation - only reducing the causes of warming can spare the worst!

As 🇩🇪's ForeignMinister rightly said "nobody wants to imagine the adaptation pressures and losses we would face without serious action to curtail #climatechange. This is why decarbonising our economies & accelerating the global energy transition is &must remain the key priority."

In her speech today at the #PetersbergClimateDialogue. #COP27 *must* deliver more emission reductions! Otherwise, #adaptation will become increasingly impossible or too costly. Limits already being felt! @ABaerbock @AuswaertigesAmt auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsr…
