For developing countries, many have indicated in biennial update reports, National Communications and/or their INDC what level of support is needed in order to implement their adaptation response. Country reporting on how much support has been received will therefore help in any national assessments of whether support levels meet the needs identified nationally, and if not, what adaptation actions/results are to be expected with the support that has been received. Collecting national-level information on adaptation support needed will help developing countries to identify and quantify what type of support is needed where, information that is also useful to developed countries and other providers of climate support. In contrast, reporting by non-Annex I countries on support received was not mandatory.
