NAP monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;E) systems can play an important role in tracking implementation but have rarely been studied. Based on a systematic review including outreach to country representatives and international organizations, a comprehensive inventory of NAP M&amp;E systems is compiled documenting government practices from over 60 countries. In contrast to previous studies, this stocktake does not rely on stated intentions of M&amp;E but requires evidence such as monitoring and evaluation reports. The extent of NAP M&amp;E involvement globally and countries&rsquo; respective status are determined and compared to a baseline from the 2017 Adaptation Gap Report of the&nbsp;<a class=\"link link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/united-nations-environment-programme\" aria-describedby=\"link-description-new-window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">United Nations Environment Programme&#65279;<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M14.42 1.04L3.2.7a.8.8 0 00-.8.76v.1a.8.8 0 00.76.7l9.39.3L.93 14.16c-.3.3-.3.8 0 1.1l.09.08c.3.23.73.2 1.01-.07L13.65 3.65l.29 9.4a.8.8 0 00.8.76.79.79 0 00.77-.8L15.17 1.8a.82.82 0 00-.75-.76z\" fill=\"#2e3152\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a>. Results show a 40% increase in the number of countries that are developing or using NAP M&amp;E systems and almost a doubling of published NAP evaluations. However, over 60% of countries that adopted a NAP do not systematically assess its implementation, leaving a critical gap in understanding the impacts of NAPs. These findings support calls for greater attention to the quality of adaptation planning and for assessing its implementation and effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timo Leiter, Do governments track the implementation of national climate change adaptation plans?
