How to report on the adaptation pillar using CDP-ICLEI track
3 October 2024
Assessment – Climate Risk and Vulnerability
The adaptation questions in Section 2 (2.1, 2.1.1, 2.2, 2.3) have been designed to align with the reporting requirements of multiple projects and/or initiatives, principally the ‘Assessment’ phase of the Climate Risk and Vulnerability section. The adaptation ‘Target’ elements are addressed in Question 5.1. and 5.1.1.The ‘Plan’ phase elements can be reported in Question 8.1 or 8.1.1, and in 9.1 (in two final columns CoM SSA cities will be requested to indicate if any actions reported address adaptation issues and the related indicators).
Examples of reporting using CDP-ICLEI Track
Question 1.2 – Report the most significant climate hazards
- Report the most significant physical climate-related hazard in this question.
- The hazards reported should be those which may pose inherently significant impacts to your jurisdiction regardless of whether your jurisdiction has taken action to mitigate risk(s).
- If actions have been taken to mitigate these risks, it is recommended that, where possible, jurisdictions report on this in Question 8.1.
- If you select the option ‘No significant climate-related hazards, please specify why’ you will not be presented with the subsequent columns in this question.
To be compliant with the GCoM Adaptation Plan badge, cities must answer at least one adaptation action including all mandatory columns (highlighted with ^ symbol).
Here are some helpful tips on how to avoid common mistakes when completing the mandatory columns:
GCoM mandatory columns | Avoiding common mistakes |
---|---|
Action (selections mandatory)^ | Please specify the action type from the drop-down list. |
Climate hazard(s) that action addresses^ | Please specify the hazard addressed by this action. Multiple hazards can be selected for one action. |
Action description and web link to further information^ | GCoM cities are required to report a brief description of each action. |
Co-benefits realised^ | Co-benefits are the positive impacts of the actions beyond adaptation. It could be a major benefit for the community such as job creation or improved public health. It helps us to celebrate the overcall achievement of local government through climate actions. Please do not leave this column blank. |
Status of action in the reporting year^ | GCoM cities are required to report the status of action implementation. The status of implementation shall be updated every three years as monitoring of the action plan. |
Inclusion in climate action plan and/or city development/master plan^ | GCoM requires cities to report actions as part of the action plan. Your answer here will help us build connection to your report in Question 7.1a. |
Question 4.1.a – Report 3 local adaptation goals
- Indicate if your jurisdiction has an active adaptation goal(s) in place by selecting the option ‘Yes, our jurisdiction has an active adaptation goal(s)’. You will then be presented with the next question where you will be requested to report further information in relation to the goal(s).
- If you do not have an active adaptation goal in place, please indicate the primary reason why by selecting the most relevant ‘No’ option. You can also add a comment to provide further context by clicking on the speech bubble icon adjacent to the question text in the reporting system.
To be compliant with the GCoM Adaptation-Goal badge, cities must choose “Yes, jurisdiction has an active adaptation goal(s) ” and answer all mandatory questions in Question 5.1.
Question 7.5 – Describe any planned climate-related projects within your jurisdiction for which you hope to attract financing and/or technical assistance
