As part of the Cancun Adaptation
Framework, Parties established the Adaptation Committee (AC) to promote the implementation
of enhanced action on adaptation in a coherent manner under the Convention, inter alia, through the
following functions:
- Providing technical support and guidance to the Parties;
- Sharing of relevant information, knowledge, experience and good practices;
- Promoting synergy and strengthening engagement with national, regional and international
organizations, centres and networks;
- Providing information and recommendations, drawing on adaptation good practices, for
consideration by the COP when providing guidance on means to incentivize the implementation of
adaptation actions, including finance, technology and capacity-building;
- Considering information communicated by Parties on their monitoring and review of adaptation
actions, support provided and received.

A full set of rules of procedure, drawing upon the provisions decided by COP 17, was approved
at COP 18. The AC further elaborated on these, also taking into account a decision by COP
19 to replace the positions of Chair and Vice-Chair by the positions of Co-Chairs. At its 5th
meeting the AC agreed on a set of revised rules of procedure.
