This briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute, authored by Mizan R. Khan, examines capacity building for climate change adaptation by analyzing lessons from five other international regime types: development, trade and regional economic integration, environment and natural resources protection, international human rights, and security, cooperation and humanitarian affairs.

• The analysis of various international regimes indicates that institutional development and strengthening are universal focuses, and failures in this area can compromise the overall effectiveness of a regime.
• Sustainable capacity building requires long-term support at both national and international levels, with a strong emphasis on national ownership by recipient countries to ensure long-term effectiveness and sustainability.
• Building national capacity relies heavily on developing human resources through research, training, and education, while strong financial support can improve the compliance of member nations with regime provisions.
• While web-based tools, networking, and partnerships contribute to effectiveness, the use of external consultants and experts can unintentionally hinder the development of a nation's internal capacity.
• The briefing identifies that capacity building is most successful when it prioritizes awareness-building, training, and education regarding human rights at all levels.
