About the Global Goal on Adaptation
The Paris Agreement (2015) established the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) under Article 7.1 to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, and reduce vulnerability to climate change.
In 2023, the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience (Decision 2/CMA.5) defined 11 specific targets across thematic and dimensional areas to operationalize the GGA.
Most recently in November 2025, the Belém Adaptation Indicators (Decision -/CMA.7) were adopted, providing 59 voluntary indicators to measure progress towards these targets.
