Is there any standard method to measure the effectiveness and success rate of any adaptation measures taken at the local, national, and regional level against climate change impacts? I have found some relevant articles. But, I am looking for a standard methodology accepted by an international body like the UNFCCC.
There is no standard methodology. We have a variety of papers at http://islandvulnerability.org/docs/islandsclimatechange.pdf focused on islands, indicating the wide variety of interests, needs, and approaches.
This can be done by conducting the experiment on farmers field or any other stakeholders wherein we need to select two types of the farmers viz. One who are adopting the methods and practices to combat climate change and those who don't. Follow them at various stage of production and cmpare the results using ANOVA. One can use multiple farmers of both the category and develop a proforma for there feedbacks. Go on compiling and recording the success stories of the farmers using the resilient technology over the non user and finally get the economic analysis done and present the results in thevform of graphic and tables and histogram.
Thanks
Dear Professor Dr Ilan Kelman thank you for sharing this valuable list of articles. I will definitely go through it and read them, which matches my area of interest.
Kind regards,
Rahman
Som Pal Singh Excellent approach! I wish I could implement one case study following this method.
Best regards,
Rahman
Yes definitely this will bring the true results which will be coming out of the stakeholders point of view regarding the climate change and its impacts.
Best regards.

Long term research approach is needed to measure success rate of Climate Change Adaptation Practice. Please go through this article.

Draft Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation "On approval of methodological recommendations and targets on adaptation to climate change"
The guidelines for assessing climate risks establish common approaches for their assessment.
Thus, for territories, a unified list of natural hazards and phenomena that occur in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere is considered as a source of risk. For each of these risk sources, quantitative indicators of the intensity, prevalence, and duration of exposure are provided. In addition to the territorial reference, an approach is used based on the threshold (critical) values of climatic factors, exceeding which with a high degree of probability will lead to the loss of operability (termination of normal functioning) or the elimination of infrastructure and other objects.
Methodological recommendations for ranking adaptation measures according to their priority level are based on the need to identify adaptation needs and develop appropriate adaptation measures.
At the same time, a risk-based approach (measures that reduce the overall level of climate risks for the territory and / or industry) and a benefit-based approach (measures that allow the regional and / or industry levels to use the opportunities arising from climate change) can be used to develop adaptation measures. The ranking of adaptation measures is based on the contribution of these measures to reduce the level of risk or vulnerability of the affected objects, or the effect of using new opportunities. At the same time, the weight of each of these factors is determined by the subject of adaptation independently based on the specifics of the characteristic climate risks and the activities carried out. Examples of adaptation measures depending on climate risk and an approximate form for ranking adaptation measures according to their priority are attached.
Methodological recommendations for the formation of industry, regional and corporate plans for adaptation to climate change combine the results of the use of the above recommendations.
The main task of the prepared adaptation plans is to determine the list of priority adaptation measures that are characterized by a high effect at a relatively low cost.
It also provides targets for achieving climate change adaptation goals, which include federal, sectoral and regional indicators and are designed to analyze the effectiveness of climate change adaptation measures and monitor the implementation of climate change adaptation plans (national, sectoral and regional).
Abhijit Mitra Thanks. Can you please share any referenced document?
Ankita Mitra Can you please explain a bit more or any reference?
