Climate Policy Implementation Tracking Framework

The Climate Policy Implementation Tracking Framework provides a structured five-step process for monitoring the progress of climate mitigation policies. It guides users through characterizing policies, identifying adoption milestones, developing implementation indicators (covering inputs, activities, and effects), establishing a tracking plan, and reporting findings. The tool includes in-depth questions to analyze the reasons behind policy success or failure and provides worksheets for practical application.

• The framework consists of five sequential steps: characterizing the policy, identifying legislative or regulatory milestones for non-adopted policies, developing implementation indicators, creating a tracking plan with data sources and methodologies, and reporting the results.
• Implementation indicators within the framework are categorized into inputs (such as finance), activities (including licensing, permitting, and procurement), and effects, which encompass intermediate changes in behavior or technology as well as GHG and non-GHG outcomes.
