UKCIP, formerly known as UK Climate Impacts Programme, is a leading centre for scientific research, policy making and practice on climate adaptation, based at the University of Oxford. In its January 2015 newsletter, UKCIP featured the review of monitoring and evaluation methods for adaptation, produced by RMIT University’s Centre for Urban Research as part of WAGA’s ‘How Well Are We Adapting?’ project. The review is part of the world-first research on adaptation performance expected to be produced by the WAGA-led project.
‘How Well Are We Adapting?’ will develop indicators for the WAGA councils to be able to assess whether their services are facilitating climate adaptation and, accordingly, how to maximise their effectiveness for adaptation in the long term. The indicators will form the basis of a monitoring, evaluation and reporting framework, which will also be useful to governments and other organisations beyond the WAGA region. WAGA’s partners in the project are the Centre for Urban Research and Net Balance Foundation; the project is supported by Victorian Government funding.
