At COP30, Parties adopted the Belém Adaptation Indicators, a landmark set of 59 indicators for tracking progress toward the targets of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) Framework. It's a major milestone.

And yet, gaps in metadata and methodologies, uneven data availability, and wide-ranging capacity constraints mean that translating this into practice still requires significant technical and political effort.

With the upcoming 64th sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies ( ) convening in Bonn, Germany, from June 9–18, C2ES is hosting a webinar to examine what comes next.

This webinar will cover:
- How the Belém Adaptation Indicators came to be
- The technical and political challenges to operationalizing the indicators heading into SB64 and beyond
- What an ambitious SB64 outcome looks like, including the launch of a technical taskforce and the indicators' contribution to the second Global Stocktake

Bringing together experts and negotiators, the webinar aims to build shared understanding and surface actionable priorities ahead of Bonn.
