Accountable Adaptation is a five-year research programme looking at the measurement of adaptation to open up questions of accountability and ambition in adaptation finance. The programme is supported by a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship :and led by Dr Susannah Fisher and is a collaboration between a team at University College London and a consortium of international partners. As climate hazards and risks increase in frequency and severity, the role of adaptation is vital for protecting progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This urgent adaptation action will require a massive scaling up of adaptation finance. Through an exploration of measurement, this project seeks to influence how climate finance is framed, implemented and evaluated to support more effective adaptation. The BIEA’s Benard Musembi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the project.
