Overview of the CRF requirements for the adaptation pillar

Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
Section Mandatory components Recommended components Optional components
General principles
  • The local government shall prepare and submit their climate risk and vulnerability assessment within two years after committing to the GCoM.
  • The assessment shall include the boundary of assessment (boundary of assessment shall be equal to or greater than the city boundary), including the local government(s) name(s).
  • The assessment should include data sources.
  • Terminologies and definitions used in the reports should be consistent with those used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) or any update following the AR5 as well as with national frameworks/requirements.
  • The assessment may include the following information:
    • Publication date
    • A glossary of key terms and definitions
    • Leading/coordinating team in the city.
Climate Hazards
  • The local government shall identify the most significant climate hazards faced by the community.
  • For each identified climate hazard, the local government shall report:
    • current risk level (probability x impact)
    • all relevant sectors, assets, or services that are expected to be most impacted by the hazard in future and the magnitude of the impact for each of them.
  • The Risk and Vulnerability Assessment should be informed by climate change projections to determine future climate hazards at a timescale of 20 to 40 years. The projections should be localised. If not available, the projections may be at the national level.
  • The local government should provide information on vulnerable population groups (e.g. poor, elderly, youth, people with chronic disease, unemployed, etc.) that are expected to be most affected by future hazards.
  • For each identified climate hazard, the local government may report expected intensity, frequency, and timescale of the hazard and a description of expected future impacts.
  • The local government may identify factors that will most greatly affect its own and the city’s adaptive capacity and enhance climate resilience.
Adaptation goals
Section Mandatory components Recommended components Optional components
Adaptation goals
  • All local governments and cities shall set and report an adaptation goal to address the risks identified in the RVA, with the hazards addressed, target year, and baseline year.
Adaptation actions
Section Mandatory components Recommended components Optional components
Actions
  • Local governments shall report more than one key action per pillar.
  • Local governments should provide a description of the stakeholder engagement process.
  • The implementation status and timing of the action should be reported.
  • The policy instruments to implement the action should be reported.
  • A description of the action may be reported.
Monitoring
  • The local government shall submit monitoring reports every four years after submitting the action plan. The monitoring reports shall provide information about the implementation status of each action contained in the action plan.
  • The local government should update and resubmit the action plan when there are significant changes to the existing plan.
  • The local government may also report the implementation cost for each action.
