Abstract
Climate change multilateral negotiations are a tough and long process due to the fact that the mode of taking decisions by consensus is quite hard when hundreds of people come to an agreement. In that regard, the Group of 77 and China is crucial in the adaptation cluster, given the high relevance this action is for developing countries. The three-year process to operationalize the Paris Agreement from the adaptation perspective demanded rich and extended discussions among Parties in order to understand the provisions and implications, as well as the positions of different groups. In a cooperative mode of work, the G77 and China was able to maintain a common position until the very end of the process, securing most of the groups’ positions.
