Monitoring & evaluation for climate change adaptation: A synthesis of tools, frameworks and approaches
This report represents a synthesis and summary of frameworks for the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of climate change adaptation (CCA) interventions, with a specific focus on international development projects and program. It helps practitioners to more easily identify the information and tools that are most relevant to their needs and identifies as well gaps and future priorities.

The guidelines take account of the characteristics of different genetic resources for food and agriculture which face different challenges and opportunities in respect to climate change. The objectives of the guidelines are to promote the use of genetic resources for food and agriculture in climate change adaptation and support their integration into national climate change adaptation planning; to support the genetic resources experts and those involved in climate change adaptation to identify and address the challenges and opportunities of genetic resources for food and agriculture in adaptation; and to promote the involvement of genetic resources stakeholders in the national climate change adaptation planning process. The guidelines follow the structure and approach of the technical guidelines for the National Adaptation Plan process prepared by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The Adaptation Advantage: The economic benefits of preparing small-scale farmers for climate change
This report analysis adaptation benefits at the community or household scale, through several case studies. The methodologies applied look at values such as: avoided damages from investments in climate change adaptation; increased production functions as a result of sustainable intensification or diversification; net incremental income for smallholder farmers; employment gains. This provides valuable information when preparing adaptation measures.
