Global Climate Change Alliance: Intra-ACP Programme Training ModuleMainstreaming Climate Change Module 7Mainstreaming climate change in monitoring systems Ms Isabelle MamatySenior ExpertClimate Support Facility
Mainstreaming climate change in monitoring systems • Learning objectives: • To understand how to integrate climate relevant indicators in the existing national or sector monitoring system • To understand why the monitoring system should integrate climate relevant indicators as part of the mainstreaming process • Expected outcomes: • Increased knowledge on mainstreaming in the country monitoring system • Increased knowledge on climate relevant indicators
Objectives and related indicators/milestones Hierarchy of objectives Progress measurement Outcomes Impact indicators Overall objective(s) Outcome indicators Specific objective(s) Output indicators Milestones Process Intermediate results Input indicators Milestones Inputs Adapted from: EC (2004), OECD (2002)
SMART indicators and targets • Indicators and targets should be: • Specific to the related objectives • Measurable • Available at a reasonable cost • Relevant to the information needs of decision makers • Time-bound Source: EC (2004)
Climate change in the nationaldevelopment monitoring system • Climate monitoring should be integrated into wider national and specific development monitoring systems => Strengthen and adapt existing monitoring systems (incl. statistical systems) to integrate climate change • Build on existing institutions and sources of information... • ... but adapt statistical systems and data sources
Levels at which to measureclimate-related performance Ultimate objective of mainstreaming! • Indicators and milestones related to climate change and the associated response can be included in the PAFs (*) of climate change strategies and actions plans, but also those of: • national and sectoral development strategies and programmes • sub-national (e.g. regional, local) development plans • individual projects (logical framework) (*) Performance assessment frameworks
Monitoring climate change Meteorology, climate variability Climate change • Data collection, management and dissemination • Strengthening of meteorological information & systems • New patterns • Emerging trends • Projections, scenarios • Tools for assessing impacts, vulnerabilities & risks Mainstreaming Is the mainstreaming process based on reliable information?
Monitoring policy and institutional change Policy change Institutional change • Political leadership • Institutional commitment • Coordination & participatory mechanisms • Procedures • Systems • Tools • Capacity building programmes • Integration of adaptation/mitigation considerations in national & sector policies/strategies • Development of adaptation- & mitigation-oriented policies & plans (e.g. DRR, REDD strategy) Mainstreaming Is mainstreaming getting institutionalised at all levels?
Monitoring policy implementation and outcomes Implementation (inputs, outputs) Outcomes, impacts • Increased allocation of resources • (Inclusion of) adaptation/mitigation (measures in) programmes/projects • Implementation & enforcement of adaptation/mitigation measures & regulations • Increased resilience of vulnerable groups (women, children, farmers, coastal communities, ...) • Increased resilience of key sectors • Green growth, green jobs • Climate-resilient, low-emission development Mainstreaming Does the mainstreaming process produce results and impacts?
Role of PAFs in relation to budget support • Progress measured against the PAF’s criteria and targets provides opportunities for policy dialogue in the context of budget support • Increasingly, the PAF associated with development and poverty reduction strategies is likely to include indicators and targets associated with climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, energy efficiency, etc. • In the case of EC budget support, performance against a chosen sub-set of criteria and targets also determines the final amount of disbursements
Discussion What are the opportunities for monitoring climate change in your sector or at your level and what are the institutional and capacity needs in your organisation to do so? • Questions and answers • Monitoring climate change • Monitoring policy and institutional change • Monitoring policy implementation and outcomes
Presentation of case studies • Presentation of key indicators for monitoring climate change and climate change mainstreaming (in the context of a specific national or sector programme if available)
Learning process exercise : Working group • Exercise: Identification of climate relevant indicators of a given national or sector programme
Recap – Key messages • Climate monitoring, as well as the monitoring of responses to climate change, should be integrated into existing development monitoring systems • This is a key aspect of the mainstreaming process • Multiple aspects can be subject to monitoring • Climate variability and change and their impacts • Changes in policies and institutions • The implementation and outcomes of adaptation and mitigation measures
