Mainstreaming Climate Change
Module 7
Mainstreaming climate change
in monitoring systems
Ms Isabelle Mamaty
Senior Expert

An initiative of the ACP Group of States funded by the European Union
Mainstreaming climate change
in monitoring systems
 Learning objectives:
o To understand how to integrate climate relevant
indicators in the existing national or sector monitoring
system
o To understand why the monitoring system should
integrate climate relevant indicators as part of the
mainstreaming process
 Expected outcomes:
o Increased knowledge on mainstreaming in the country
monitoring system
o Increased knowledge on climate relevant indicators

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

What should be monitored,
and why?
Aspect to monitor
Rationale for monitoring
Climate variability and change,
impacts and vulnerabilities
• Make decisions as well informed as
possible
• Support adaptive management
Policy and institutional change
• Promote the institutionalisation of
climate change mainstreaming
• Enhance the transparency and
accountability of the mainstreaming
process
Policy/Strategy implementation and
outcomes
• Strengthen commitment to the
objectives set in policies and
strategies
• Stimulate the achievement of
tangible outcomes
7
Climate change in the national
development 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
o Build on existing institutions and sources of
information...
o ... but adapt statistical systems and data sources
8
Levels at which to measure
climate-related performance
 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:
o national and sectoral development strategies and
programmes
o sub-national (e.g. regional, local) development plans
o individual projects (logical framework)
Ultimate objective of
mainstreaming!
(*) Performance assessment frameworks

Monitoring climate
change
Meteorology,
climate variability
• Data collection,
management and
dissemination
• Strengthening of
meteorological
information & systems
Climate change
Mainstreaming
Is the mainstreaming
process based on
reliable information?
10
• New patterns
• Emerging trends
•Projections, scenarios
• Tools for assessing
impacts, vulnerabilities &
risks
Monitoring policy and
institutional change
Institutional
change
Policy change
• 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?
• Political leadership
• Institutional
commitment
• Coordination &
participatory mechanisms
•Procedures
• Systems
•Tools
•Capacity building
programmes
Monitoring policy
implementation and outcomes
Implementation
(inputs, outputs)
• Increased allocation
of resources
• (Inclusion of)
adaptation/mitigation
(measures in)
programmes/projects
• Implementation &
enforcement of
adaptation/mitigation
measures & regulations
Outcomes,
impacts
Mainstreaming
• Increased resilience of
vulnerable groups
(women, children, farmers,
coastal communities, ...)
Does the
mainstreaming process
produce results and
impacts?
12
• Increased resilience of
key sectors
• Green growth,
green jobs
• Climate-resilient, lowemission development
Performance assessment frameworks
and budget support
13
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
o 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


Questions and answers
Monitoring climate change
Monitoring policy and institutional change
Monitoring policy implementation and
outcomes
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?
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)
17
Learning process exercise :
Working group
 Exercise: Identification of climate relevant
indicators of a given national or sector
programme
18
Recap – Key messages
 Climate monitoring, as well as the monitoring of
responses to climate change, should be
integrated into existing development monitoring
systems
o This is a key aspect of the mainstreaming process
 Multiple aspects can be subject to monitoring
o Climate variability and change and their impacts
o Changes in policies and institutions
o The implementation and outcomes of adaptation and
mitigation measures
