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

This research paper by the World Resources Institute analyzes the processes used by Cambodia, Rwanda, Colombia, and Fiji to develop the adaptation components of their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

• The paper examines the development of updated NDC adaptation components in Cambodia, Rwanda, Colombia, and Fiji by investigating the presence and application of seven qualitative factors to identify good practices and lessons for future NDCs.
• Assessing the quality and collective ambition of adaptation NDCs is difficult because these components are voluntary, meaning countries do not follow a standard template, and there are gaps in existing guidance and agreed indicators.
• The authors utilized a World Resources Institute analytical framework for assessing adaptation ambition to select the four case study countries, which were then analyzed via document review, stakeholder interviews, and an analysis of adaptation priorities using critical systems for adaptation.
