TAMD Climate Change Indicator - Methodological Note. Indicator 6: Planning under Uncertainty

INDICATOR 6. PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY~Institutional capacity for decision-making under climatic uncertainty

This indicator is designed to assess the extent to which climate change planning explicitly addresses uncertainty related to future changes in climate.

The indicator can be used to assess the performance of an individual capacity building programme, through evaluation of the target system (e.g. ministry, sector, institution) at the beginning, during, and at the end of the programme.

The indicator may also be used to assess the treatment of uncertainty in development planning in systems targeted by multiple programmes, based on regular completion of the scorecard to track changes over time.
