The need for countries to adapt to climate change is becoming more pressing as its impacts continue to accelerate. Monitoring and evaluation is complex, since, unlike climate change mitigation, there are no universal metrics for adaptation or loss and damage. Robust national systems are needed, reaching down to the local scale. The ICAT toolbox provides valuable resources intended to assist decision makers to assess adaptation project proposals, assess the impacts of losses and damages, track the implementation of adaptation activities on the ground, and report to the international community.
