The objective of this summary note is to present an easy-to-read overview of the key challenges and emerging practices associated with M&E in the area of climate change adaptation. The primary difference of the present document from the other summary publications mentioned above, apart from its concise format, is its specific focus on providing instructive, simplified examples (based on UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP) experience in implementing M&E frameworks in adaptation projects around the world) that will hopefully help development practitioners with limited or no experience in the field of adaptation to visualize each of the challenges better.
