UNFCCC Addendum Updates Global Adaptation Efforts and Goal Framework Progress for 2023 Global Stocktake

This document is an addendum to the synthesis report on the state of adaptation efforts, experiences, and priorities, prepared by the UNFCCC secretariat for the technical assessment component of the first Global Stocktake (GST). Its purpose is to complement the initial synthesis report (published April 2022) by highlighting new developments and information that have become available since April 2022. This updated information is particularly relevant for the final phase of the technical assessment and the consideration of outputs component of the first GST, which includes the third and final meeting of the technical dialogue in June 2023. The scope focuses on the state of global adaptation efforts and progress towards the global goal on adaptation (GGA). Key activities and developments covered include the ongoing work under the comprehensive two-year Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh work programme on the global goal on adaptation, established by CMA 3. This programme held four workshops in 2022 covering themes such as enhancing understanding and reviewing progress towards the GGA, enhancing adaptation action and support, methodologies, indicators, data, metrics, monitoring, and evaluation, and communicating and reporting on adaptation priorities. Summary reports of these workshops and an annual report were published. A key obligation initiated by CMA 4 is the development of a framework for the global goal on adaptation. The aim is for this framework to be adopted at COP 28. While adaptation efforts are inherently cross-sectoral, the document does not specify particular affected sectors but rather focuses on the global assessment process and framework development. Relevant deadlines include the third and final meeting of the first technical dialogue of the first GST in June 2023, for which this addendum provides input, and the target adoption date for the GGA framework at COP 28 (late 2023). There are no specific compliance dates mentioned for Parties within this snippet, as it focuses on the secretariat's reporting and the ongoing intergovernmental process. Regulation/statute names and relevant processes mentioned include the 'Addendum to the synthesis report for the technical assessment component of the first global stocktake: State of adaptation efforts, experiences and priorities', the 'Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh work programme on the global goal on adaptation', the 'Global Stocktake (GST)', the 'Global goal on adaptation (GGA)', the 'Paris Agreement' (context for CMA), 'CMA' (Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement), and 'COP' (Conference of the Parties).

Introduction and overview
1. The CMA requested the secretariat, under the guidance of the co-facilitators of the
technical dialogue, to prepare for the technical assessment of the global stocktake a synthesis
report on the state of adaptation efforts, experiences and priorities, summarizing the most
recent information in the identified sources.1 This synthesis report was published in
April 2022.2
2. Ahead of the third and final meeting of the first technical dialogue of the first GST,
taking place in June 2023, this addendum aims to complement the synthesis report by
highlighting new developments that have taken place and information that has become
available since April 2022, and synthesizing additional information that is particularly
relevant to the final phase of the technical assessment and the consideration of outputs
component.

the global goal on adaptation
A. Update on the Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh work programme on the
global goal on adaptation
3. CMA 3 established a comprehensive two-year Glasgow–Sharm el-Sheikh work
programme on the global goal on adaptation. Throughout 2022, four workshops were held
under the work programme on the following themes: (1) enhancing understanding of the
global goal on adaptation and reviewing progress towards it; (2) enhancing adaptation action
and support; (3) methodologies, indicators, data and metrics, monitoring and evaluation; and
(4) communicating and reporting on adaptation priorities. In addition, four summary reports
of the workshops, as well as an annual report, were published to capture the discussions that
took place and insights that emerged as a result.
