2021-08-10 P&E Agenda - Item 7 - Attachment 1 - Climate Change Response Plan

                                                              Noosa Climate Change Response Plan




Monitoring and evaluation
Monitoring and reporting on progress are critical to understanding the effectiveness of actions and to
ensure delivery of the ambitions and strategic priorities in this plan.
The scale and urgency of the climate emergency means that the Council and the community need
the evaluation of progress to be meaningful, transparent and timely.
A review of progress against the strategic priorities, actions, targets and metrics in this plan will
occur every second year to allow Council and the community to assess plan implementation and the
impact of action taken. Smaller interim annual reviews will also occur to help inform Council budget
processes.
The monitoring and evaluation framework for this CCRP has been designed to help Council and
other project partners to understand what is working and what is not. Our understanding of climate
change is evolving in terms of what makes people, communities and environments vulnerable to
climate impacts, and what to do about it. The monitoring and evaluation is about understanding
change – what has changed, how has it changed and by how much. Understanding how climate
actions are actually reducing vulnerability or reducing emissions or increasing capacity of people
and organization is complex. The process therefore needs to be elastic and inclusive to provide for
adaptability as things emerge and morph.
