This chapter highlights some of the basic elements of the longer-term approach in terms of assessing adaptation in the context of climate risks. First, climate risks are discussed in the context of the interlinkages between adaptation and mitigation, the current and future risk levels against which to assess adaptation progress, and the extent to which ambitious adaptation could reduce climate risks. Second, the process of assessing adaptation is discussed in the context of framing adaptation progress, barriers in tracking adaptation
outcomes (i.e. results in terms of climate risk reduction – see box 2.1), and the scope and methodology of the report.
Understanding of these two aspects – climate risk trajectory and adaptation assessment – will continually evolve over the coming AGRs as new knowledge emerges from the literature and more consistent data and information are provided by countries, donors and implementing organizations.
