Adaptation Learning Mechanism: Learning by Doing

The project will maximize adaptation learning through implementation of projects under the GEF’s Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA), and will generate knowledge to help further guide implementation and improve impacts of GEF adaptation projects. The objective of the project is to provide tools and establish a learning platform for mainstreaming adaptation to climate change within the development planning of GEF eligible countries. The project proposes to: capture the current state of knowledge on planning, implementing and mainstreaming adaptation; identify key gaps in adaptation knowledge gaps; and develop responses to the knowledge gaps. An adaptation knowledge base will be designed, and operationalized though this project.
