In February 2017, an international team of legal researchers from the climate law and governance initiative undertook a cross-cutting comparative review of the Paris Agreement iNDC and NDC Databases to understand the role of adaptation in the NDCs. It builds upon other recent research prepared by law and environment graduates under guidance of senior international climate law experts and professors.
The review focused on three key questions:
1. How many countries NDCs and iNDCs out of the total available by February 2017 include an adaptation component?
2. What are the top 3 adaptation priorities chosen by countries (either sectors or actions) and how many countries include them?
3. What are countries requesting in terms of support/collaboration, and how many are requesting each?
