Climate Change Adaptation: Knowledge Needs Survey Results

This policy document presents the results of a recent UNDP survey on adaptation knowledge needs. The demand for policy-based risk reduction is high, and the linkages between adaptation and national development planning are clearly perceived. Additionally, the capacity to develop a national adaptation policy is considered a greater challenge than finding the necessary funds. These findings will guide the content of the Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM), a project that will encourage sharing of adaptation experiences through an open knowledge platform.
