Very clear overview of GGA and how to track progress.
How can we tell if climate adaptation efforts work? Study shows how satellites help assess risks and track progress. Satellite data could transform how we track progress on global climate resilience for the Paris Agreement’s framework of the Global Goal on Adaptation. climate.esa.int/en/news-even...
