Comunicaciones sobre la adaptación: Preguntas frecuentes

The document explains that Adaptation Communications (ADCOMs) are voluntary reports under the Paris Agreement designed to synthesize a country's climate adaptation priorities, needs, and lessons. It outlines four primary purposes: increasing the visibility of adaptation relative to mitigation, mobilizing support for developing countries, providing data for the Global Stocktake, and enhancing learning. The text details flexible submission methods—as standalone documents, linked to other reports, or as components of existing documents like NDCs or NAPs—and emphasizes that ADCOMs should not create additional burdens for developing nations. It also provides a detailed list of optional content elements and explains how countries can leverage their ongoing NAP processes to inform their ADCOMs.

• Adaptation Communications (ADCOMs) are voluntary reports established under Article 7, paragraphs 10, 11, and 12 of the Paris Agreement to share a country's "prioridades, esfuerzos, necesidades y lecciones sobre la adaptación al cambio climático."
• The ADCOM serves four main objectives: balancing the profile of adaptation with mitigation, strengthening support for developing countries, providing information for the Global Stocktake, and improving the understanding of adaptation needs and actions.
• Countries have three flexible options for submitting an ADCOM: as a standalone document, as a document submitted alongside another report, or as a component integrated into another document such as a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), National Communication (NC), or National Adaptation Plan (NAP).
• The content of an ADCOM is entirely optional, but countries are invited to provide information on national circumstances, institutional arrangements, legal frameworks, risks, vulnerabilities, priorities, and implementation needs.
• ADCOMs are designed to be country-driven and flexible, specifically ensuring they do not "supongan una carga adicional para los países en desarrollo" and are not intended as a basis for direct comparison between parties.
• Countries with ongoing NAP processes, even if they have not yet completed a formal NAP document, can use available information from their NAP frameworks, work plans, or risk assessments to develop their ADCOM.
