France’s approach aims to primarily track progress on the implementation of its 230 adaptation measures, on the assumption that implementing its NAP would lead to a reduction in the country’s vulnerability to climate change (Government of France, 2015). Kenya and Philippines’ approaches focus primarily on evaluating the outcomes of their adaptation plans, with Philippines even defining immediate, intermediate and ultimate desired outcomes (Philippines, 2011; Kenya, 2012). The United Kingdom’s first statutory assessment of national progress on adaptation first monitors the degree of achievement of actions planned in its NAP (Figure 2).
