About the Regional Observatory of Adaptation
The Regional Observatory of Adaptation (ROA) is an information system designed to collect, analyze, monitor, evaluate and generate collective reflection on the progress and obstacles faced by countries, societies and communities of Latin America and the Caribbean towards compliance with the Global Goal on Adaptation
Mission
The mission of the ROA is to generate/collect strategic indicators, analytical tools and knowledge on progress on adaptation in the Latin American and Caribbean region. In this way, the ROA aims to support the decision-making of governments, international organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector that promote action for adaptation.
Vision
By 2025, the ROA will be established as a strategic tool for the acceleration of adaptation processes to climate change in the LAC region. The information and knowledge necessary for decision-making will be available publicly and transparently. Likewise, the ROA will be consolidated as a key tool in the definition and implementation of the Global Adaptation Goal framework.
