The Reflections series synthesizes lessons from past evaluations to support organizational learning about what works and what doesn't. This paper synthesizes evidence from 37 UNDP evaluations to extract seven lessons on climate change adaptation in the most vulnerable contexts:

1. The reality of climate impacts
2. Reinforcing local capacities
3. Improving climate information
4. Avoiding maladaptation
5. Planning to implementation
6. Private sector
7. Evaluating climate resilience
