This synthesis report by the NAP Global Network analyzes how 62 countries have integrated Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) into their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) documents, based on submissions to the UNFCCC as of June 30, 2025.

This research paper outlines four essential elements—impact, effectiveness, equity, and legitimacy—required for the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) framework to be successful at COP 28. It argues against rigid quantitative targets in favor of qualitative visions, emphasizes the necessity of including means of implementation (funding), and calls for the integration of gender and human rights data to ensure equitable adaptation progress.
