A number of key considerations for the design of global adaptation assessment approaches are discussed in the literature . Some of these involve trade-offs, such as global applicability versus context specificity, for which there is no simple solution. Design considerations directly depend on the objectives of global adaptation assessments, which can differ between actors and can include, for example, providing transparency, enabling accountability, understanding effectiveness or guiding policy development . The underlying objectives determine the suitability of approaches and the data requirements.
