Stories Behind the Adaptation Commitments in the Nationally Determined Contributions of Cambodia, Rwanda, Colombia, and Fiji

The document examines the development processes of adaptation components within the updated NDCs of Cambodia, Rwanda, Colombia, and Fiji. Using a framework of seven qualitative factors, stakeholder interviews, and document reviews, the research aims to identify good practices to help countries strengthen their adaptation commitments in subsequent update cycles, noting that the lack of standard templates and indicators currently makes assessing the quality and ambition of these voluntary components challenging.

• Assessing the quality and collective ambition of adaptation NDCs is difficult because these components are voluntary and countries do not utilize a standard template for their development, compounded by gaps in existing guidance and agreed indicators.
• The study utilized an analytical framework developed by the World Resources Institute to select four countries with extensive adaptation components and evaluated their development processes against seven qualitative factors.
