Very interesting as always. I agree fully with the argument that measurement very easily becomes a mechanism of control, and hence is inextricably linked to power dynamics. The development and peacebuilding fields, among others, are grappling with the same thing. Do you know of any examples of locally developed forms of adaptation measurement and monitoring- eg. by local organisations or even governments of especially climate vulnerable countries? This is one potential way that accountability might be transformed.
