This submission serves as the first Adaptation Communication from The Republic of Korea (ROK), tracking sustained efforts and actions towards adaptation, as required by Article 7, Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Paris Agreement and Decision 9/CMA.1. The aim of this communication is to increase the visibility and profile of adaptation, reflect the adaptation efforts of the ROK for mutual learning, provide input for the Global Stocktake, and ultimately contribute to global efforts towards climate change adaptation.

The Republic of Korea's sustained efforts and actions towards adaptation include:

• The National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR) has implemented a nationwide initiative, the Citizen Participation-based Biodiversity Monitoring Network (K-BON), aimed at monitoring climatesensitive species;
• The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has provided hydro-meteorological information and weather education to water management agencies for flood forecasting and dam operation decisionmaking;
• The ROK has actively supported international efforts to address climate change by contributing to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as a host country, and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI).
