At COP29, discussions on the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) progressed with further guidance provided to experts working on indicators to measure adaptation progress. This is part of an ongoing work programme set to conclude at COP30 this year. Additionally, Parties established the Baku Roadmap and a high-level dialogue to sustain engagement on adaptation, ensuring continued momentum toward an effective framework. As we move towards COP30 in Belém, the focus will be on shaping the final phase of the GGA work programme, refining adaptation indicators, and clarifying how different stakeholders—including Parties, financial institutions, and technical experts—can contribute to its success. A key aspect of these discussions will be understanding how the GGA framework translates into actionable strategies across different regions, considering different vulnerabilities and adaptation needs. In this fireside chat, speakers will unpack the COP29 outcomes, discuss what to expect in 2025 for SB62, COP30 and related dialogues, and explore how diverse stakeholders can support the GGA process to ensure that adaptation efforts in agriculture, water and health and ecosystems are inclusive, measurable, and impactful at regional and global levels.
