However, it would be less transparent/more difficult to verify. For example, the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report included detailed region-specific discussions on vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity (see IPCC 2014, although significant uncertainties remain for some regions). Such information could be used to feed into a global stocktake at relatively low resource requirements. Expanding analysis to look at more national and region-specific information would increase the resource implications (and may reduce the political acceptability of results).
