Scopeofthereview4.6. Thereviewwillbelimitedtotheworkofadaptation‐relatedinstitutionalarrangementsundertheConventionandbeconductedinrelationtotheneedsofPartiesunderthepost‐Parisclimatechangeregime.ItwillincludeallrelevantexistingmandatesbytheCOPandthesubsidiarybodies(SBs),aswellasthoseintheParisAgreement.

7. Inthiscontext,thereviewconsidersinstitutionalarrangementsundertheConvention,whoseprimarymandateistoenhanceadaptationactionandsupport(forexampletheAC,theLeastDevelopedCountryExpertGroup(LEG),theNairobiWorkProgramme(NWP),theExecutiveCommitteeoftheWarsawInternationalMechanismonLossandDamage(WIM))andthosearrangementswhosemandatesarebroaderbutalsoincludeenhancingadaptationactionandsupporttovaryingdegrees(forexampletheConsultativeGroupofExpertsonNationalCommunicationsfromPartiesnotincludedinAnnexItotheConvention(CGE),theoperatingentitiesundertheFinancialMechanism,theTechnologyExecutiveCommittee(TEC),theClimateTechnologyCentreandNetwork(CTCN)andtheParisCommitteeonCapacity‐Building(PCCB)).
