The World Adaptation Science Programme (WASP) has made significant strides in bridging the science-policy gap for climate adaptation over the past six years. This progress report highlights key achievements, including the establishment of four Working Groups focused on adaptation effectiveness, loss and damage, the global goal on adaptation, and adaptation finance. WASP has published eight Science-for-Adaptation Policy Briefs and co-produced the annual Adaptation Gap Report, which assesses global progress on adaptation. The programme's efforts have been instrumental in supporting vulnerable developing countries with policy-relevant science and fostering international collaboration for effective climate adaptation.
