While the NAP guidelines include a section on identifying the effectiveness of the NAP process (LEG, 2012), there are no available guidelines for identifying the effectiveness of adaptation actions or plans as a whole. The COP requests the Adaptation Committee and LEG, in collaboration with the Standing Committee on Finance and other institutions, to develop methods and make recommendations to the CMA on how to review the adequacy and effectiveness of adaptation. For example, population growth and non-implementation of zoning laws can affect the number of people and value of assets vulnerable to flooding (see Helgeson and Ellis, 2015 for a discussion of this).
