In this report, we identify, analyse and compare international good practices in the design and implementation of national monitoring and evaluating indicator systems for climate change adaptation. This first chapter provides an introduction to the context and key terminology in the domain of climate change adaptation and indicators for M&E of adaptation. The second chapter discusses the existing approaches to M&E, while Chapter 3 provides a general overview of approaches to M&E Frameworks for Climate Change Adaptation.

En este informe identificaremos, analizaremos y compararemos buenas prácticas internacionales de diseño e implementación de indicadores para sistemas de monitoreo y evaluación para la adaptación al cambio climático. El primer capítulo ofrece una introducción al contexto y la terminología clave en el tema de adaptación al cambio climático e indicadores de M&E para la adaptación. El segundo capítulo analiza los enfoques de M&E existentes, mientras que el capítulo 3 ofrece un panorama general de los enfoques de M&E para la adaptación al cambio climático.

Context

Context

Guatemala is ranked among the countries with the highest climate risk, given the impact that its territory has suffered from extreme meteorological events, which, associated with the socio-economic conditions of its population, have a high vulnerability to the effects of climate change. In this sense, the need arises to define public and government actions to reduce the effects/impacts of climate change, promoting in turn greater development and well-being of its population.

This Technology Transfer Advances Colombia's

• Nationally Determined Contribution to develop "a national system of adaptation indicators that allows the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of adaptation measures" and "ensure that six priority sectors of the economy (transport, energy, agriculture, housing, health, and trade, tourism and industry) will include climate change consideration in their planning instruments".

This Technology Transfer Advances Costa Rica's

• Nationally Determined Contribution to use land use planning as a tool to decrease long-term vulnerabilities of its population, enhance its food security and the resilience of its infrastructure. The NDC also includes a committment to have a land use plan in every city and coastal area by 2020,  which considers vulnerabilities to climate change and measures for increasing adaptation and mitigation

Context

Chile has faced enormous fires affecting its biodiversity, forestry, agriculture and livestock production activities, which a significant part of the population depends on. The magnitude of the emergency has highlighted the difficulties of dealing with this type of event as well as the need to collaborate with the agricultural production sector to begin restoration of natural landscapes and their socio-ecological fabric, while building a culture of prevention and improving the capacity to react and respond to similar events.
