UNEP DTU Partnership – Call for tender – Language review and translation services for the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2020

Background

Adaptation Gap Report is one of UNEP’s flagship products. The report’s objective is to inform the negotiators of the UNFCCC Member States, and the broader UNFCCC constituency, about the status and trends within climate adaptation at global and regional levels. It does this by providing these stakeholders with an annual assessment of the state and trends within adaptation planning, finance, and implementation, at the global- and regional-levels, as well as providing a set of science-based options to policy- and decision-makers to increase ambition in adapting to climate change across key climate-sensitive sectors. Moreover, in line with 2020 being super year for nature and biodiversity within UNEP, in this iteration of the AGR, the report will also provide an assessment of the state and trends within the sphere of Nature-based Solutions as a means of adapting to climate change. It will also assess the impact of Covid-19 on global adaptation processes.
