Stage 8.2 Monitor the performance of the adaptation measures

Who's Involved
  • Energy sector managers, guided by Assignment Management Team
Timing and time required
  • On an ongoing basis
  • As part of routine operations
Key questions
  1. Did the adaptation measures deliver the expected benefits?
  2. Were the costs of the adaptation measures as anticipated?
  3. What lessons can be learned that could be usefully applied elsewhere?
Tools
  • Adaptation Strategy and Workplan for implementing adaptation measures
Guidance
  1. Monitoring should be undertaken to ensure that the actions in the Adaptation Strategy and Workplan are being carried out and that the adaptation measures are proving effective in managing climate-related risks.
  2. SMART indicators (see Stage 8.1) should be developed to monitor the performance of adaptation actions.
  3. Where flexible adaptation options have been selected (see Stage 4.1), monitoring can help to decide when the options need to be increased, in line with observed changes in climate-related risks.
  4. Based on the monitoring, the Adaptation Strategy and Workplan should be reviewed and updated as required.
Outputs
  • SMART targets
  • Updated Adaptation Strategy and Workplan
