Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems for National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes are essential for countries to track, assess and learn from their progress on adaptation. MEL systems can help countries to understand the effectiveness of their NAP processes, support mutual accountability and transparency to stakeholders, and contribute to learning to accelerate adaptation actions.

25 January 2022: Webinar on Adverse Outcome Pathway co-operative activities b...OECD Environment
On 25 January 2022, the OECD held a webinar on Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) co-operative activities between Scientific journals and the OECD.
This webinar was organised primarily for Scientific Journal editors or publishers who are interested in reviewing/publishing AOPs and collaborating with the OECD in this activity.
The objective of the webinar was to present the basis for cooperation between scientific journals and the OECD and discuss the lessons learnt so far.
Nathalie Delrue (OECD Secretariat) presented the OECD AOP review principles and endorsement process and described how the cooperation between OECD and scientific journals is formalised in the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding.

Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approachOECDregions
OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach.
About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.

Working Group 1: Working Group 2:
13. • The spirit of voluntarism and in-kind contributions will remain a
critical pillar of the WGI
• The promotion of the Implementation of the Principles will
require more resources as compared to developing tools
• Develop resource mobilisation strategy! Act on it!
– Expand existing partnership engagement with funders
– Diversify pool of funding by adding new funding partners, such as
through leveraging the King Hassan II Water Prize, awarded to OECD
– Explore possibilities of “basket funding” and where funding can flow in
different directions
– WGI Steering Committee plays a key role, along with interested
members and supported by OECD Secretariat
point 3: More resources are needed?
14. • The OECD Water Governance Initiative is highly relevant and
delivers
• The core focus for 2019-2021 is to support the
implementation of Principles (with related tools)
• Additional resource mobilisation is required to deliver on
work plan in full
• Strength of WGI is its collective approach
– The afternoon session will tease out more in detail the aim and work
of the Working Groups, as well as how members would like to
contribute
