How to report on the adaptation pillar using the JRC offline reporting template
Lesson Progress
0% Complete
Remember from Lesson 7.2, the JRC offline reporting template is essentially an Excel spreadsheet. When reporting on the adaptation pillar, there are three main exercise sheets to complete:
Sheet 1
RVA
Sheet 2
Adaptation actions
Sheet 3
Adaptation planning process
These sheets are explained in more detail in the sections that follow.
Sheet 1
RVA
Sheet 1 consists of:
General RVA information
Step 1: Climate hazards in your local government (LG)
Step 2: Current risks
Step 3: Future hazards
Step 4: Vulnerable sectors
Step 4: Step 5: Vulnerable population groups
Step 6: Adaptive capacity
Let’s unpack these points one at a time.
General RVA information
Under “General RVA information”, you will need to input:
- Title
- Author(s)
- Year
- Description
- Boundary
- Method & Source(s)
Step 1: Climate hazards in your local government
- Make a list of the climate hazards that are applicable to your local government by selecting them from the list provided in the RVA sheet of the template.
- Write a brief description of each climate hazard.
- Extreme heat
- Extreme cold
- Heavy precipitation
- Rain storm
- Fog
- Hail
- Floods & sea level rise
- Flash / surface flood
- River flood
- Coastal flood
- Groundwater flood
- Permanent inundation
- Droughts & water scarcity
- Storms
- Severe wind
- Tornado
- Cyclone (hurricane/ typhoon)
- Tropical storm
- Extratropical storm
- Storm surge
- Mass movement
- Landslide
- Avalanche
- Rockfall
- Subsidence
- Mass movement
- Landslide
- Avalanche
- Rockfall
- Biological hazard
- Salt water intrusion
- Chemical change
- Other [please specify]
Step 2: Current risks
- Indicate the probability of each relevant climate hazard occurring by using the drop-down button provided to indicate this (scale is listed as low, moderate, high, not known).
- Indicate the consequence of the climate hazard when it does occur by using the drop-down button provided to indicate this (scale listed as low, moderate, high, not known).
Example from the offline template:
Step 3: Future hazards
- Indicate the expected change in intensity by using the drop-down button provided (scale is listed increase, decrease, no change, not known).
- Indicate the expected change in frequency by using the drop-down button provided (scale is listed increase, decrease, no change, not known).
- Indicate the timeframe of when the expected change in intensity and frequency is likely to occur by using the drop-down button provided (scale is listed short-term, medium-term, long-term, not known).
- Provide a description of the anticipated impacts of the future hazards.
- The description will be richer and more robust if you have heard from a diverse range of voices during the SEACAP process.
Example from the offline template:
Step 4: Vulnerable sectors
- Indicate the sectors which are considered to be the most vulnerable to climate hazards affecting your local government by selecting those that are applicable from the drop-down list.
- Indicate each sector’s vulnerability level to climate hazards by using the drop-down button provided to indicate this (scale is listed low, moderate, high, not known).
- Think about which of those sectors have a disproportionate representation or underrepresentation of women.
- Indicate each sector’s indicator level by selecting an “RV” code*.
- Once an indicator is selected from Annex 3, add a value for this indicator for each hazard/line (if possible).
*The meaning of each “RV” code is included in Annex 3 of the offline template and additional indicators can be added (last tab of the Excel document).
Example from the offline template:
- The hazard is extreme heat and the most vulnerable sector is health.
- The indicator selected is RV_S7 “Number of deaths related to heat waves”.
- The value for this indicator is 150 (deaths related to heat waves, per year).
Step 5: Vulnerable population groups
- Indicate the most vulnerable population group by selecting those that are applicable from the drop-down list.
Example from the offline template:
Step 6: Adaptive capacity
- Indicate the adaptive capacity factor by selecting that which is applicable from the drop-down list.,/li>
- Indicate the adaptive capacity level by selecting that which is applicable from the drop-down list.
- Indicate which indicators are relevant by selecting those that are applicable from the drop-down list. (Note the list will display a “RV-A” number, the meaning of which can be found in Annex 3.)
- Indicate the indicator value by adding this directly in the appropriate unit. (Note the units will display alongside their corresponding “RV-A” number, the meaning of which can be found in Annex 3.)
- Quantifying this adaptive capacity will enable the city to monitor progress.,/li>
Example from the offline template:
RV-A1 is the % of public funds available to address a climate hazard and its impacts (e.g. fire, flood, heatwave, etc). So in the example here, only 50% of public funds is available to address extreme heat hazards.
Sheet 2
Adaptation actions
Sheet 2 consists of the following:
General Adaptation Action Plan information
Step 1: Adaptation actions per sector
Step 2: Responsible parties and policy alignment
Step 3: Origin of the action, timeframe and status
Step 4: Links to other pillars, stakeholders, related indicators and outcomes
Step 5: Costs and key actions
Let’s unpack these points one at a time.
General Adaptation Action Plan information
The primary information to complete includes:
- Title
- Date of formal approval
- Desision body approving the plan
- Description
- Nature of the plan
- Boundary of the plan
- SEACAP webpage
Step 1: Adaptation actions per sector
- Indicate which sectors have been prioritised.
- Include an action title for that sector (max. 120 characters).
- Include an action description to further describe the action (max. 300 characters).
- Indicate which climate hazard the action addresses.
*Note you may have more than one action per sector, in which case, include this (see example).
Example from the offline template:
Step 2: Responsible parties and policy alignment
- Indicate a responsible body for implementing the action.
- Indicate which policies the action aligns to.
Example from the offline template:
Step 3: Origins of action, action timeframe and implementation status
- Indicate origins of action from the drop-down list provided.
- Indicate the start time of the action using the drop-down list provided.
- Indicate the end time of the action using the drop-down list provided.

- Indicate whether the action also addresses an access to energy issue by marking with an x.
- Indicate stakeholder involvement from the drop-down list provided.
- Indicate the vulnerability tackled using the drop-down list provided.
