How much progress have countries made on adaptation to risks that affect ecosystems?

Risks to ecosystems are defined as the loss of species, migration, and spread of pests and disease in marine, freshwater, or terrestrial ecosystems.

Groundwork is defined as steps taken to prepare for and inform adaptation responses. This includes impact and vulnerability analysis, strategic planning, and decision-making processes.

Adaptation is defined as tangible steps taken to increase the resilience of communities, for example legislative action, public awareness programs, or infrastructure improvement.
