The research evaluates the impact of a tiered pricing drought plan implemented by the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) using a discrete continuous choice (DCC) model within a water evaluation and planning (WEAP) framework. The analysis finds that the drought plan significantly reduces consumer welfare loss compared to a scenario with no plan, as current consumption levels exceed essential needs. The study also examines non-monetary performance metrics, including reservoir storage and hydropower generation, concluding that the EID bears most of the plan's costs through reduced revenues.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has developed Performance Measurement Frameworks (PMFs) to quantify and qualify the impacts of its climate mitigation and adaptation investments. The frameworks utilize a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators, including gender-disaggregated data, to track progress toward low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways. Mitigation metrics focus on CO2 equivalent reductions across energy, transport, buildings, and forestry, while adaptation metrics measure beneficiary reach, risk reduction, and the resilience of infrastructure and ecosystems.
