In March 2018, UN Environment (UNEP) DTU Partnership released a new edition of its perspectives series, dedicated to the metrics of climate change adaptation.

“ The issue of how to establish meaningful metrics for climate change adaptation is gaining impetus on both the political and academic agendas. There is an increased recognition of the need to prioritize and direct limited adaptation funding to the most vulnerable countries and population groups in the most cost-effective way.

The publication’s main interest is in how to measure and track progress in adaptation, both in terms of outcomes and processes. The question of interest is essentially the metrics, indicators and unit that could be used to measure, aggregate and compare adaptation results.”

“UNEP DTU Partnership is a leading international research and advisory institution on energy, climate and sustainable development. As a UN Environment (UNEP) Collaborating Centre, it is an integral part of UNEP's Economy division and an active participant in both the planning and implementation of UNEP’s Climate Change Strategy and Energy Programme.”
