Contributions to IPCC AR6

Completed

Title: Global Adaptation Mapping Initiative (GAMI) (2019-2022)

​Eranga contributed to this project as a coding and synthesis team member. GAMI is a collaborative network that maps global evidence on climate change adapta tion. The network reviewed thousands of peer-reviewed articles to develop the first systematic global assessment of empirical evidence on adaptation progress. This initiative aims to provide synthesis results to inform the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6), addressing the question: Are we adapting? The project is led by Prof. Lea Berrang Ford and her team.
