Coordination for Climate Change Adaptation

The World Resources Institute is launching an investigation into the formal coordination mechanisms needed for development and implementation of adaptation policy. Our aim is to gather information from experts on climate change adaptation policy on the coordination institutions and mechanisms used in different countries to manage adaptation at the national level. While many of these mechanisms will be new or only half-formed, we hope to explore the variety of mechanisms and contexts at the domestic level.

 

As a part of this process, we have put together a short survey to gather a range of perspectives and experiences surrounding coordination for adaptation. If you have some familiarity with adaptation coordination processes and mechanisms in your country, please complete the survey and share your knowledge. We anticipate that it will take 20-30 minutes to complete this survey and submit your responses.

 

Please take the survey here: WRI Survey on Coordination for Climate Change Adaptation

 

All responses will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used to gather critical data about the range of activities surrounding coordination mechanisms for adaptation planning.

 

The results of this survey will feed into a pair of roundtables, one to be held virtually and one during COP16, during which the issues uncovered by this survey will be explored in greater depth and detail.  This series of activities draws upon WRI's National Adaptive Capacity Framework (http://www.wri.org/project/vulnerability-and-adaptation/nac-framework) and the related ARIA civil society project (http://www.wri.org/project/access-initiative/aria).  It will inform development of the upcoming 2010 edition of the World Resources Report (http://www.wri.org/project/world-resources-report), Decision Making in a Changing Climate. 

 

Thank you in advance for your participation. If you have any additional questions or comments regarding this survey or its related activities, please contact WRI Senior Associate Joe Foti, jfoti@wri.org.
