Climate Change Screening Matrix
Submitted by andrea on Mon, 2009-06-08 23:43Summary:
Background
The Climate Change Screening Matrix provides guidance and a check-list for use by field-mission representatives and Danish development partners. As part of the Climate Change Screening Matrix, climate change is integrated as part of wider “environment” as a crosscutting issue. Testing on sector programmes in 17 countries. There are results available for Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Kenya, Mali, Nepal, Niger.
