Despite the notable progress under the UAE-Belém Work Programme, significant gaps persist in implementation, financing, and accountability. COP30 must deliver for all communities across the world by moving the UNFCCC process into a high-gear implementation phase with equitable and sustainable adaptation outcomes.

CAN-UK’s key priorities for adaptation at COP30 are: 

  1. Global Goal on Adaptation: Adopt the full set of indicators as an integrated framework with strong gender, inclusion, and finance components.
  2. Adaptation finance: Secure a post-2025 adaptation finance commitment that meets the scale of global needs.
  3. National Adaptation Plans: Advance NAPs to enable locally-led and inclusive implementation of adaptation.
  4. Baku Adaptation Roadmap: Agree the scope, purpose, and duration to guide coherent, collaborative, and transparent progress tracking.
