Perspectives coordinated the third work package of the assignment, namely in-depth country assessments of 10 selected LDCs and SIDS. Additionally, Perspectives carried out the in-depth analysis for selected LDCs (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Randa Senegal, Singapore, and Timor Leste) . The analysis was informed by interviews with country representatives as well as an extensive desk research. Furthermore, Perspectives contributed to all four other work packages under the assignment, which included the political mapping of the international scene with regard to climate adaptation, the development of a strategy for the EU’s engagement in international climate adaptation outreach, briefings on links to EU climate diplomacy, the prioritization of countries and development of country profiles, the development of an international narrative and messaging on adaptation as well as strategic communication material and technical support including ad hoc requests regarding emerging issues and priorities. The latter included identification of adaptation interventions which simultaneously address the impacts of Covid-19 in LDCs and SIDS and communication on adaptation in the context of the global pandemic.
