Methodological guide for testing the Belém Adaptation Indicators of the Global Goal on Adaptation
This guide was developed by Fundación Argentina 1.5 and Fundación Gran Chaco, with the support of Fundación Avina, combining the organizations' experiences with multi-level adaptation actions and drawing upon a pilot exercise conducted in the province of Chaco, Argentina. The guide aims to contribute to the global effort to pilot the Belém Adaptation Indicators by offering a practical perspective based on 11 interviews with representatives from countries, country groups, and organizations that generously shared their processes, challenges, and expectations.

Towards an equitable Global Stocktake: recommendations from Latin America and the Caribbean for the adaptation agenda in the second Global Stocktake
The project "Strengthening the Perspectives of Latin America and the Caribbean in the Assessment of Progress on Adaptation in the Second Global Stocktake", promoted by Argentina 1.5 and the Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA), aimed to deepen the analysis of the gaps identified in the first Global Stocktake, with special attention to the adaptation mandates of Article 7.14 of the Paris Agreement. Based on this analysis, the project sought to generate concrete regional inputs, supported by empirical evidence, to contribute to the second Global Stocktake process. Within this framework, the proposal created spaces for exchange and the substantive participation of key organizations and actors from Latin America and the Caribbean through three virtual workshops, a webinar, and a meeting with negotiators and representatives of civil society organizations during the 64th meeting of the UNFCCC subsidiary bodies. These spaces allowed for an analysis of the evolution of adaptation mandates within the Global Stocktake framework and the identification of critical gaps. This document synthesizes the evidence obtained throughout the various stages of the project, which has been used to develop recommendations and policy messages that contribute to the global process under the UNFCCC.

Testing of the Belém Adaptation Indicators in the Province of Chaco, Argentina. Lessons learned from a multi-scale exercise.
Argentina 1.5 and Gran Chaco Foundations have embarked on a joint journey to contribute to the testing of the BAI from a multi-scalar and multi-level perspective of adaptation. This policy report summarizes the progress made in recent months, which has involved joint capacity building and an effort to understand the extent to which BAI are applicable to the realities of the Chaco province in Argentina, and in particular, to the livestock production chain. To this end, the UAE-FGCR, along with the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) submitted by Argentina to the UNFCCC and the draft Response Plan of the Chaco province under Law 27.520, have been considered as key inputs for the exercise.

Collective assessment of adaptation from the first to the second Global Stocktake: state of play
The Paris Agreement establishes the Global Stocktake as a periodic mechanism to determine collective progress toward achieving long-term goals. The Global Stocktake is a facilitative process that involves all components of the Agreement—mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and means of implementation— in light of equity and the best available scientific information. At the same time, the Paris Agreement establishes a set of key aspects regarding the collective assessment of adaptation progress in the Global Stocktake in Article 7.14. However, the first Global Stocktake (GST1) highlighted the persistent political and technical obstacles that marginalize adaptation in international climate governance. Specifically, the fundamental mandates of this Article faced significant implementation dilemmas, resulting in a limited depth of this collective assessment of adaptation. There is a risk that these scenarios will be repeated in the second Global Stocktake (GST2), which begins this year. This synthesis report is part of a project by Argentina 1.5 and supported by the Adaptation Research Alliance that seeks to strengthen the understanding of the gaps identified in GST1, paying special attention to the mandates on adaptation, with a view to generating evidence-based proposals from Latin America and the Caribbean towards GST2.

Orchestrating complexity to prevent systemic fragmentation
As the international community moves from negotiation to implementation, one key challenge is translating global indicators into actionable, context-relevant monitoring systems at the national and subnational levels. In this regard, CoCoA “Collective Construction of Adaptation Indicators”, contributes with a bottom-up perspective by engaging civil society organisations, local actors, and technical experts across Latin America and the Caribbean to reflect on how adaptation indicators can be operationalised in real-world contexts. This approach helps bridge the gap between global methodological discussions and the realities of data availability, institutional capacities, and locally identified adaptation priorities. As a two-way learning process, CoCoA brings information on adaptation negotiations closer to communities and, at the same time, serves as a bridge connecting local and community experiences to the international level. To contribute to this process, this report provides updated information on recent developments in the negotiations and their main challenges leading up to the next sessions. It focuses on the COP30 process and outcomes on adaptation and the challenges they pose for accelerated implementation. Therefore, it is of particular interest to examine orchestration processes as a way to understand the interrelationships within and between climate regimes in a world where geopolitical threats have multiplied.

Statement prepared by Fundación Argentina 1.5 Grados Centígrados on the occasion of the Public Hearing for the bill under review on the modification of the minimum budget regime for the protection of glaciers and the periglacial environment (File 0072-S-2025)
Argentina faces a critical juncture in the protection of its strategic water resources. Glaciers constitute a key natural infrastructure for water security and the management of current and future climate risks, as well as being part of its cultural heritage. Weakening their protection not only represents an environmental setback, but also increases economic, social, and institutional risks in a context of greater climate variability, recurring droughts, and pressure on freshwater resources.
