The First Implementation Report of the SAA captures the progress made on adaptation planning and policies, partnerships and inclusivity, knowledge and capacity, technology, innovation and data, and finance by highlighting the signals of change at system and outcome levels. The report sheds light on the critical interconnectivities that exist among economies, nature and human systems and how adaptation solutions delivered have multiple benefits including mitigation co-benefits. It also reflects on the power of radical collaboration between multiple party and non party stakeholders that are paving the way for resilient, net zero and nature-positive development.

The report highlights significant opportunities for transformation to accelerate planning, finance and implementation. It elevates the benefits of integrating planning across systems and levels of governance. In addition, it showcases opportunities for businesses to invest in adaptation with key examples of transformations unfolding across supply chains and business models. Additionally, the report emphasizes the vast potential and pressing need to accelerate action within the finance sector to mobilize funds from public, private, and blended sources, and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).
