Annex: Belém Adaptation Indicators for measuring progress achieved towards the targets referred to in paragraphs 9–10 of decision 2/CMA.5
1. Adaptation is context-specific, and capturing progress in adaptation in a comprehensive manner requires contextual information, which may be reflected through the disaggregation of indicators, as appropriate. Parties may determine the categories for and extent of such disaggregation in accordance with their national circumstances and contexts. Indicators may be disaggregated, as appropriate, by:
(a) Social categories, which may include demographic and socioeconomic characteristics such as vulnerability, gender, age, disability, race, socioeconomic status, status as Indigenous Peoples, status as migrants, as well as children and young people, as noted in paragraph 21(d) of decision 3/CMA.6, paragraph 41(i) of document FCCC/SBSTA/2024/7 and paragraph 79(i) of document FCCC/SBI/2024/13;
(b) Climate-related hazards (with this category remaining flexible to reflect the different hazards faced by countries), which may include floods, droughts, increased temperatures, storms, cyclones, landslides and other extreme climate events, and Parties may take into account all climate hazards currently faced or anticipated in the future;
(c) Geographical characteristics, accounting for different physical and regional contexts, including coastal areas, islands, mountains, arid and semi-arid regions, deltas, river basins, and cryosphere regions;
(d) Ecosystems, which may include terrestrial, inland water, mountain, marine and coastal ecosystems and other relevant ecosystems, as applicable and as referenced in paragraph 9(d) of decision 2/CMA.5;
(e) Administrative and settlement levels, which may include national, subnational and local levels, as well as urban and rural areas;
(f) Type of adaptation measures, such as building resilience and retrofitting; (g) Thematic sectors referred to in paragraph 9 of decision 2/CMA.5, and for which Parties are encouraged (1) to disaggregate the dimensional target indicators referred to in paragraph 10 of decision 2/CMA.5, as appropriate, in order to reflect the full adaptation cycle characteristics of each thematic sector and (2) to consider, where relevant, disaggregation by thematic sector under the thematic target indicators to capture interlinkages between different thematic targets;
(h) Subcomponents of the targets referred to in paragraph 9 of decision 2/CMA.5, which may include, for 9(b) food and agriculture target indicators, disaggregation by type of agriculture, including crops, livestock, fisheries and agroforestry; for 9(c) health target indicators, disaggregation by diseases, as applicable; for 9(d) ecosystem target indicators, disaggregation by ecosystem services, where appropriate; for 9(e) infrastructure and human settlements target indicators, disaggregation by type of infrastructure and type of settlement; and for 9(f) poverty eradication and livelihoods target indicators, disaggregation by poverty levels, income groups and social protection measures, as applicable.

11. The indicators for assessing progress under target 10(b), planning, towards achieving the outcome thereunder – by 2030 all Parties have in place country-driven, gender-responsive, participatory and fully transparent national adaptation plans, policy instruments, and planning processes and/or strategies, covering, as appropriate, ecosystems, sectors, people and vulnerable communities, and have mainstreamed adaptation in all relevant strategies and plans – are as follows:
(a) Status of having national adaptation plans, policy instruments, and planning processes and/or strategies in place;
