Abstract: The Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) under the Paris Agreement sets a collective ambition to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. The UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience sets out eleven thematic and dimensional targets to achieve the GGA and established a process to identify indicators to guide assessments of global progress towards the GGA. This paper situates the development of GGA indicators for enabling factors for the implementation of adaptation action, including means of implementation (MoI), in the context of existing provisions under the Paris Agreement. An analysis of how ten Parties reported on enabling factors, including MoI, in their first biennial transparency reports shows that the experience Parties already have in reporting on adaptation provides a strong basis that GGA indicators can build on to address current knowledge gaps. Recognising persistent data and methodological constraints in the context of reporting under other international frameworks, the paper argues for an iterative approach to progressively improve coverage and granularity of reporting on progress towards the GGA.
