The UNFCCC Paris Agreement at COP21 introduced Global Goals on Adaptation (GGA) and periodic progress assessments. In December 2023, COP28 adopted the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, outlining seven adaptation targets and four policy cycle targets to assess adaptation efforts and risk reduction. The first stock take at COP28 revealed insufficient data to determine the adequacy of current and planned adaptation measures against expected climate impacts.
The SCALA programme, through its Private Sector Engagement Facility, collaborated with the Government of The Gambia on a feasibility assessment for potential biogas development.
The SCALA programme, through its Private Sector Engagement Facility, collaborated with the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea on a study of the coconut value chain ecosystem, identifying it as a promising and climate-resilient crop.
FAO SCALA organized a roundtable with the Egyptian dairy industry in Cairo to discuss climate change's impacts and how joint action can enable and accelerate the implementation of agrifood priorities in Egypt.

This publication serves as a guide for countries in exploring how reporting for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicators under FAO custodianship serves the scope of compiling information for the biennial transparency reports (BRT) under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
At the time of UNDP's submission of this paper to the UNFCCC, 53 countries have submitted their NAPs to the UNFCCC. This represents only 37% of the 142 developing country parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). UNDP has provided technical support to 32 of the NAPs that have been submitted and is continuing to support other least developed and developing countries to increase the number of submissions.
In 2022, UNDP helped to advance that vision with a record delivery of $4.8 billion, achieved amid countervailing challenges around the world. This translated into development results in over 170 countries and improvements to the lives of millions of people.
This study maps the extent to which climate, peace and security intersections are addressed in the National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and offers a blueprint for the mainstreaming of climate-related security risks into the NAPs and for synergies between adaptation policies and peacebuilding efforts.
The world faced multiple crises in 2021. The climate emergency escalated. Social unrest and conflict flared. Inequalities deepened as COVID-19 continued to devastate lives and diminish economies, plunging millions more into poverty.
UNDP is privileged to partner with Pacific Island Countries and Territory as they strive towards the achievement of national ambitions, regional aspirations, and the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2020–2021, UNDP assisted countries with their immediate responses to COVID-19, recorded progress against many of the targets that were set prior to the pandemic, and supported countries with pandemic recovery plans.
Produced by UNDP's Africa Borderlands Centre, this report constitutes a wealth of insights to build better programming and make sure our development actions are relevant and efficient.
