The report evaluates 2,618 commitments from the Our Ocean Conference (2014-2024), totaling US$160 billion in pledged funds.

The document reports on a comprehensive global stocktake of human adaptation to climate change, utilizing machine learning and a network of 126 researchers to screen over 48,000 articles. The analysis reveals that documented adaptations are primarily fragmented, local, and incremental, with very little evidence of transformational adaptation or outcomes that effectively reduced risk. The authors conclude by identifying eight priorities to improve global adaptation research.
