This report identifies, analyses and compares international good practices in the design and implementation of national monitoring and evaluating indicator systems for climate change adaptation.

It starts with an introduction to the context and key terminology in the domain of climate change adaptation and indicators for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of adaptation. It goes on to discuss the existing approaches to M&E and provide a general overview of approaches to M&E Frameworks for Climate Change Adaptation. The final chapters outline and discuss the application and relevance of existing frameworks for M&E in international and Latin American contexts.

The report highlights countries with limited resources, poor infrastructure and unstable institutions have generally little capacity to adapt and are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. It argues that targeted development planning and strategies have important roles in strengthening the adaptive capacities of societies at various levels.
