SMART indicators and targets
•Indicators and targets should be:
•Specific to the related objectives
•Measurable
•Available at a reasonable cost
•Relevant to information needs of decision
makers
•Time-bound

Mainstreaming environment and climate
change in monitoring systems
5
What should be monitored, and why?
Aspect to monitor
Rationale for monitoring
Changes in environmental
parameters that influence
poverty/development in a significant
manner
• Make decisions as well-informed as
possible to take opportunities to enhance
effects on poverty reduction and revert
adverse trends
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
environmental and climate change
mainstreaming
• Enhance 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
6
outcomes
Environment and climate change in the
national development monitoring system
• Environment and climate change monitoring should
be integrated into wider national and specific
development monitoring systems
=> Strengthen and adapt existing monitoring
systems (incl. statistical systems) to integrate
environment and climate change
• Build on existing institutions and sources of information...
• ... but adapt statistical systems and data sources
7
Levels at which to measure environmentand climate-related performance
• Indicators and milestones related to
environment/climate change and the associated
response can be included in the PAFs (*) of
environmental and 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
Ultimate objective
of mainstreaming!

Monitoring environment & climate change
Meteorology,
climate variability,
environmental
parameters
• Data collection,
management and
dissemination
• Strengthening of
meteorological
information & systems
Climate
change
Mainstreaming
Is the
mainstreaming
process based on
reliable
information?
• New patterns
• Emerging trends
•Projections, scenarios
• Tools for assessing
impacts, vulnerabilities
& risks
9
Monitoring policy and institutional change
Institutional
change
Policy change
• Integration of
environment/climate
change considerations in
national & sector
policies/strategies
• Development of
adaptation- & mitigationoriented policies & plans
(e.g. DRR, REDD
strategy)
•Development of
environment-specific
policies & plans (e.g.
IWRM, biodiversity)
Mainstreaming
Is mainstreaming
getting
institutionalised at
all levels?
• Political leadership
• Institutional
commitment
• Coordination &
participatory
mechanisms
•Procedures
• Systems
•Tools
•Capacity building
programmes
10
Monitoring policy implementation and
outcomes
Outcomes,
impacts
Implementation
(inputs, outputs)
• Increased allocation of
resources
• (Inclusion of)
environment/climate
change (measures in)
programmes/projects
• Implementation &
enforcement of
environment/climate
change measures &
regulations
Mainstreaming
Does the
mainstreaming
process produce
results and impacts?
• Reduced environmental
degradation and its incidence
on poverty/development
•Increased resilience of
vulnerable groups (women,
children, farmers, coastal
communities, ...)
• Increased resilience of key
sectors
• Green growth,
green jobs
• Environmentally
sustainable, climateresilient, low-emission
development
11
Performance assessment frameworks
and budget support
12
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 environmental sustainability,
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
13
Discussion and action planning
14
Turning words into action
 Monitoring environment and climate change
 Monitoring policy and institutional change
 Monitoring policy implementation and outcomes
What can be done and what
are the institutional and
capacity needs in your
country/sector of
responsibility?
15
Recap – Key messages
• Environment and climate monitoring, and monitoring
of responses for environmental sustainability and
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
- The state of environmental variables closely linked to
poverty and development
- Climate variability and change and their impacts
- Changes in policies and institutions
- The implementation and outcomes of adaptation and
mitigation measures
