SEACAP development and implementation involves four phases
Initiation
Activities in this phase include:
- Affirming political commitment to the SEACAP development process from the heads of the municipality and the national government (depending on the mandate of the municipality/city)
- Mobilising and engaging all municipal departments and stakeholders involved.
- Establishing a framework for continuous collaboration and coordination to ensure that the SEACAP process is embedded and integrated into the work of each relevant department.

PLANNING
The planning phase includes:
- Pre-assessment phase
- SEACAP development phase
Pre-assessment phase of planning
Activities in this phase include:
- Developing a Baseline Emissions Inventory (BEI)
- Developing a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA)
- Developing an Access to Energy Assessment (AEA)
- Together, these reports offer an opportunity for local governments to obtain critical baseline information, providing a grounding for targets and action.

Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI)
- Measures and quantifies the emissions of three sources: stationary energy, waste and transportation.
- This is the baseline report for the mitigation pillar.
Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA)
- Identifies which climate hazards are affecting the local region and indicates which economic sectors and populations groups are most affected by those climate hazards.
- This is the baseline report for the adaptation pillar.
Access to Energy Assessment (AEA)
- Assesses the status of energy access in the local government under two broad categories: access to electricity and clean cooking in households and access to electricity in public buildings.
- This is the baseline report for the access to energy pillar.
SEACAP Development phase of planning
Activities in this phase include:
- Setting adaptation, mitigation and access to energy targets.
- Developing adaptation, mitigation and access-to-energy actions to achieve these targets.
- Including the results of the pre-assessment phase (BEI, RVA and AEA) and the targets and action set in the planning phase into one document – the SEACAP.
implementation
Activities in this phase include:
Implementing the actions included in the SEACAP, starting with the ones identified as priority in the planning phase.
Monitoring and Reporting
Activities in this phase include:
- Reporting on each component of the SEACAP to CDP-ICLEI Track on an annual basis.
- Regularly reviewing progress of implementing actions to ensure that the targets are achieved.
Assessing progress on a regular basis and adjusting priorities as needed to fit the current situation. - Developing and submitting a progress report every second year after the SEACAP was developed, for monitoring and evaluation. More information on reporting will be covered in Module 7.
Reporting to CoM SSA
- Once the SEACAP (or components thereof) is completed, the baseline data, targets and actions for all three pillars need to be reported to CoM SSA, made publicly available and updated every few years.
- Reporting can be done online using CDP-ICLEI Track or using the CoM SSA offline reporting template and shared with the Technical Helpdesk for validation.
