These challenges are interconnected: they reinforce each other, but tackling them together can unlock opportunities for truly transformative adaptation. For example, narrow views of what adaptation can mean (ontological) + exclusionary participation (epistemological) = epistemic injustice.

We grouped the 47 challenges into 7 categories that reflect MERL’s complexity: defining adaptation and success, whose knowledge counts, how knowledge is valued, equity and politics, resource limits, and the complex spatial and temporal dimensions of adaptation.

Since the Paris Agreement, adaptation has been centre stage. But why is MERL still so hard to do well?

Over the past decade, we’ve learned a lot about the challenges of measuring adaptation progress.

1/ 🚨NEW PAPER ALERT (OPEN ACCESS)🚨
What comes to mind when you hear "climate change adaptation"? ⛈️ Many think of softened blows from hazards. But when I asked MERL experts on urban nature-based solutions during my PhD, their unexpected answers reshaped my perspective. (doi.org/10.1007/s132...)
