State of the Nationally Determined Contributions: Enhancing Adaptation Ambition
Adaptation components are a voluntary element of countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. While the agreement establishes a basis for adaptation planning through other instruments, it does not provide designated guidance for the presentation of adaptation information in the NDCs. The voluntary inclusion of adaptation in the NDCs is politically salient, as Parties remain divided on whether adaptation components should be a core element of the NDCs or remain in separate instruments.
