A new OECD report, Monitoring and Evaluation of Climate Change Adaptation: Methodological Approaches, explores methodological approaches that can be used to monitor and evaluate climate change adaptation initiatives at the projects and programme level. It focuses on three monitoring and evaluation challenges that are particularly relevant for adaptation and examines what lessons can be learned from the approaches used in other areas of development practice: i) assessing attribution, ii) establishing baselines and targets, and iii) dealing with long time horizons. The paper also stresses the importance of on-going learning from evaluation and the benefit of applying a comprehensive approach to monitoring and evaluation, building on tested practices from participatory methods and social sciences techniques.
