After the CoP22 mission was over, two of the main supporting actors of the first conferences decided to continue the cycle of international conferences held annually in Morocco.

The German Corporation for International Cooperation (GiZ) supported the organization of the third conference at University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) in Benguerir, on October 26-27, 2018. A new topic, “resilient cities”, was added to the themes of water and agriculture.

The series of three international conferences on adaptation metrics held from 2016 to 2018 accumulated a significant amount of knowledge on the subject and resulted in the creation of an international community of practice with practitioners from government agencies, multilateral development banks and bilateral agencies, and the private sector, with acute knowledge of policy, climate change science, and climate finance with the view of approaching the subject of adaptation metrics in a wholistic manner.
