METRICS FRAMEWORK


    READ MORE HERE

    The Metrics Framework pursues several objectives at once, playing an essential function for both the campaign and the global climate action agenda and resilience communities. The Framework is the cornerstone of the R2R campaign, serving as a guide, for partners and for the HLCs, on how to manage and develop their work. It is composed of two complementary sets of metrics: Quantitative or Magnitude Metrics, which help estimate the size of the impact, fundamentally through the number of beneficiaries reached; and Qualitative or Depth Metrics, which help provide an understanding of how the partners and their members are contributing to increasing resilience of people vulnerable to climate change, by observing which conditions (Resilience Attributes) they are impacting.
