Since the commitment taken by parties to the United Nations Framework Conventionon Climate Change under the Paris Agreement in 2015 to enhance adaptation effortsand strengthen resilience, the last Conferences of the Parties (COPs) to the frameworkconvention have been concentrated on negotiating a Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA).Progress was slow until COP 26 in 2021, with the establishment of the Glasgow–Sharmel-Sheikh work program, which initiated a series of eight workshops in 2022 and 2023 toadvance on the GGA. Still, by the end of the first half of the program, there have beenonly limited advances toward areas of consensus and a lack of concrete proposals for theconfiguration and content of the GGA.
