Not Planned Under development
Planned   Currently being implemented

 

Austria Developing a monitoring tool for the assessment/evaluation of the defined fields of activity. The first Implementation Report will be published by the end of 2014. Future reporting is planned on a three-year cycle. Developing an evaluation tool for the assessment/evaluation of the defined fields of activity.
Belgium Indicators are being developed by the different federal and regional entities. A study commissioned by the Flemish Region will point out indicators for climate adaptation (e.g. heat island effect).   
Czech Republic M&R&E should be taken into account in the action plan
Finland As a part of revision to improve methodology and system to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the  strategy
France Mid-term review at the end of the year (report published January 2014)
Germany Currently indicators in order to establish a monitoring system on climate impacts and adaptation are developed
Hungary As part of the development of adaptation strategy, the elaboration of methods for monitoring/evaluation is under way
Ireland Future work under the EPA’s Climate Change Research Programme will take account of the need for adaptation indicators to assist in monitoring and reviewing of plans as well as allowing for comparison across plans
Lithuania During the period of 2014-2016 to conduct studies for the individual sectors (spatial planning, transport, energy, waste, industry, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, tourism and others) regarding the vulnerability to climate change and the opportunities to adapt, to propose the most effective adaptation measures and indicators.  State and municipal institutions engaged in the implementation of the activities will provide the Ministry of Environment with information about the progress in implementing the Strategy and its Action plan by submitting annual activity reports.
Malta It is recognised that the development of a monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) framework for adaptation will be crucial to feed into the review of the NAS. In this regard, the Climate Change Division within the MRA has been tasked, inter-alia, with the responsibility for monitoring and reporting of the relevant commitments, which is indeed on-going.
Norway Preliminary process established, through coordination of government action at national level and some other initiatives. Will be addressed more comprehensively in the coming years
Spain The Third Monitoring Report of the PNACC was published in December 2013, at the same time as the adoption of the Third Program of Work. This Third Work Programme includes monitoring and evaluation aspects by means of periodic monitoring reports, progress evaluation in Working Groups with main stakeholders and sectoral reviews. It also follows, participates and considers the EC progress in the design of the scoreboard.

In 2013, the regional authorities were given the task to develop regional actions plans and to monitor adaptation work at the local level. This work will include risk- or vulnerability assessments where needed.

As part of the work to review the risk and vulnerability assessment and to look at options for future adaptation work, we are also investigating the need for MRE activities.

Switzerland Setting up an M&E system: determination/ collection of indicators - first controlling/evaluation of implementation and effectiveness of the strategy in order to get valuable input for the revision of the strategy and action plan.
United Kingdom Adaptation Sub-Committee have statutory duty to report on implementation of NAP under Climate Change Act. They are developing indicators through which to do this. Also need to include related efforts by Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
