Why monitoring, reporting and evaluation matters

MRE is a critical part of the adaptation process. The combination of the long timescales associated with climate change, and inherent uncertainties (e.g. in terms of our understanding of future climate change and societal responses) makes it essential that we monitor, report and evaluate how well we are adapting. In addition, we are still at a relatively early stage in implementing adaptation policies and measures, therefore it is critical that we understand and learn which adaptation actions work (or not), in what contexts and why.
