The WASP Science-for-Adaptation Policy Brief on Advancing Effectiveness for Climate Adaptation is the seventh issue in the series published by seven United Nations agencies that form the World Adaptation Science Programme (WASP): UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Global Environment Facility (GEF), Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the United Nations University (UNU).

The goal of this issue is to enhance the understanding of the effectiveness of climate adaptation by elucidating the dynamic framing for adaptation policy and action, identifying areas where approaches for ensuring adaptation effectiveness have advanced, highlighting adaptation effectiveness in international and national policymaking and measuring adaptation effectiveness of actions on the ground.
