CCCXG Global Forum March 2017 breakout group C and D summary slides
The document discusses information needs to assess progress towards the global goal on adaptation to climate change. It notes that the global adaptation goal still needs to be operationalized and clarified. Information will be needed at different levels but some, such as gender and mainstreaming data, will be difficult to collect and compare. Existing UNFCCC reporting vehicles are indispensable but need enhancement in content and periodicity. A minimum set of information to be reported should be defined. Assessing collective progress will require linking to other reporting frameworks and using existing third party information from regional, scientific, and issue-specific organizations. Determining effectiveness and adequacy of adaptation efforts also poses a challenge.

Make use of existing information from third parties o E.g. from regional reports (transboundary effects), science (IPCC) and ecosystem-specific (Arctic Council) or issue-specific (health, private sector) organisations 3.
