Climate Policy Implementation Tracking Framework

The Climate Policy Implementation Tracking Framework is a policy tool developed by the World Resources Institute to help analysts, advocates, and policymakers track the adoption and implementation of climate mitigation policies from inception to impact.

• The Climate Policy Implementation Tracking Framework provides a structured approach to monitoring climate mitigation policies, offering guidance on selecting milestones and indicators to track progress and providing in-depth questions to analyze the reasons behind policy success or failure.
• The framework consists of five sequential steps for tracking policies: 1) identifying and characterizing the policy; 2) identifying legislative or regulatory milestones for policies not yet adopted; 3) developing implementation indicators covering inputs (such as finance), activities (such as licensing and enforcement), and intermediate effects (such as behavioral or technological changes); 4) creating a tracking plan that specifies data sources, frequency, and methodology; and 5) implementing the plan and reporting results.
