The Climate Action Labeling Tool is designed to assist experts in validating and prioritizing climate actions for cities. It serves as a crucial component in developing a robust, data-driven framework for climate action planning that combines:
- Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GHGIs)
- Climate Change Risk Assessments (CCRAs)
- Local contextual data
- Expert knowledge validation
- Compare climate actions in pairs to establish relative importance
- Includes detailed metrics like GHG reduction potential, adaptation effectiveness, and co-benefits
- Option to add notes for specific comparisons
- Filter actions by type, sector, or other criteria
- Description and key metrics
- Classification (Action Type, Primary Purpose, Sector)
- Co-Benefits analysis
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Dependencies and implementation considerations
-
Select a City
- Choose a city from the left panel to begin the assessment process
- View city-specific context on the map
-
Compare Actions
- Review pairs of actions presented side by side
- Choose which action is more important based on:
- GHG reduction potential
- Adaptation effectiveness
- Cost considerations
- Implementation timeline
- Co-benefits
- Select "Left more important" or "Right more important"
- Use "Can't Decide" for equally important actions
- Mark "Both Irrelevant" for non-applicable pairs
-
Add Notes
- Click "Add Note" to provide additional context or reasoning
- Notes are exported with the final results
-
Export Results
- Export comparisons for further analysis
- Results contribute to a validated database of prioritized climate actions
The tool's outputs will help:
- Validate the scoring methodology for climate actions
- Refine action prioritization frameworks
- Create a robust model for climate action planning
- Support evidence-based decision making for cities
This systematic approach ensures that climate action recommendations are grounded in both data and expert knowledge, making them more reliable and actionable for cities worldwide.
