Abstract

Climate change adaptation has become a policy priority for over 170 countries, yet significant challenges remain in tracking and evaluating the effectiveness of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and National Adaptation Strategies (NASs). A robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework is crucial for assessing adaptation effectiveness, but the establishment of such systems faces hurdles, including legal complexities, indicator flexibility, and institutional coordination. While international organizations and scholars propose various M&E frameworks, a gap exists in tailoring these frameworks to specific institutional and cultural contexts. Australia’s adaptation M&E framework remains in its early stages, actively seeking input to refine its assessment structure, tracking metrics, and data collection approaches.This study aims to identify key components of effective adaptation M&E frameworks, analyze best practices from four countries—UK, Germany, Canada, and Finland—that share institutional and cultural similarities with Australia, and synthesize their approaches for potential application in the Australian context. Through a comparative case study methodology, this research identifies six critical components for effective adaptation M&E: (1) theory of change, (2) sectoral-based approach, (3) risk assessment, (4) flexibility and iterative learning, (5) quality of indicators, and (6) accountability mechanisms. Findings indicate that while the UK and Germany have well-established M&E frameworks integrating these components, Canada and Finland are still refining their approaches. Based on these insights, this study provides a best-practice roadmap that can guide Australia in developing a structured, flexible, and comprehensive adaptation M&E framework, ensuring its effectiveness in tracking progress and fostering resilience to climate change.

Abstract

The rise of global value chains (GVCs) has redefined international trade, enabling countries to specialize in different stages of production. Indonesia’s participation in GVCs is crucial for enhancing industrial productivity and export diversification. However, Indonesia still heavily relies on forward participation, primarily exporting raw materials and commodities, which makes its economy vulnerable to global price fluctuations. This paper examines Indonesia’s trade characteristics, GVC participation trends, and the implications of both forward and backward participation for economic growth. The study highlights the need for strategic policies to balance these two forms of participation by fostering domestic industrial development, improving human capital, and investing in technology. Furthermore, the role of financial services and infrastructure is explored in facilitating backward participation, enabling Indonesia to integrate more effectively into the global production network. To optimize GVC benefits, Indonesia must adopt a multifaceted approach that includes economic diversification, technological advancement, and policy reforms. Strengthening collaboration with ASEAN countries and improving domestic capabilities will be critical in ensuring sustainable economic development and increasing global competitiveness.
