The 2015 Paris Agreement made a significant impact on the status quo, with almost all the countries agreeing to limit global warming to 2℃ or less. The preparation of NDCs under the Paris Agreement contributed positively to national climate policies and helped focus on the centrality of water in adaptation planning . In total, 92% of countries that mention adaptation in NDCs also include water . Low-income countries make specific reference to rain-fed or irrigated agriculture and livestock. In contrast, middle- and high-income countries include developing management, governance mechanisms and increased disaster risk reduction in their NDC pledges . Floods were the critical climate hazards identified in the adaptation components of NDCs, followed by droughts . Also, the water sector was identified as the top priority sector for adaptation actions in the NDCs for 118 out of 137 countries, followed closely by the agricultural sector with 100 out 137  based on data from UNFCCC . Many developing countries have included quantitative targets for adaptation in the water sector . Similarly, water-related impacts and adaptation often feature prominently in NAPs .
