Knowledge gaps constitute significant barriers to successful climate change adaption actions, whether it is the absence of knowledge, lack of access to existing knowledge or the disconnect between knowledge holders and users. The Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative (LAKI) identifies and prioritizes adaptation knowledge gaps, and catalyzes action to bridge these gaps.
The LAKI is a joint action pledge under the Nairobi work programme (NWP) between the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat and the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) through its Global Adaptation Network (GAN). Regional partners and entities including the APAN, REGATTA and WARN-CC collaborated with GAN and UNFCCC to facilitate science-policy-practice dialogues and follow up on response actions at various scales.
