Understanding the value of the adaptation reporting power process to the reporting organisations involved by Hayman, V, Street, R, Wilkins, T

“…The added value ranged from further raising awareness, consolidating climate change adaptation activities, and promoting discussions on climate risks and adaptation in the organisation and within and across sectors, as well as with external partners. • The value to reporting organisations could be increased through greater transparency and demonstration of the use of the reports, including provision of feedback on their contributions to informing policy. • There is considerable interest within reporting organisations in maximising the value of the information contained in the ARP reports (including to track progress), in sharing and learning from good practices and in supporting a better understanding of, for example, dependencies and interdependencies…”
