GUIDELINE ON MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE RESPONSIVENESS AND RESILIENCE INTO URBAN PLANNING 33The assessment considerations in relation to the steps in the planning process are illustrated in Figure 8. The main assessment considerations for the assessments that took place between 2019/20 and 2021/22 were:%u2022 Climate change response and resilience reflected in guiding principles and strategies: Standardised section on metropolitan municipalities%u2019 response to its climate risks, including reference to strategies and plans, and how climate change is strategically and transversally institutionalised within the organisation and incorporated into the drafting of the BEPP.%u2022 Climate change response and resilience reflected in desired outcomes: Incorporate CR&R into the identification and prioritisation of spatial targeting areas through undertaking climate risk and vulnerability assessments and applying the findings from these assessments to the priority spatial targeting areas (integration zones, marginalised residential areas, economic nodes, prioritised precincts etc.).%u2022 Critical assets that are most at risk and/or exposed to climate impacts are identified, including infrastructure and communities: Incorporate CR&R into the identification and prioritisation of spatial targeting areas through climate risk and vulnerability assessment and identification of associated climate risk zones.%u2022 Interventions that support climate change response goals and outcomes are identified, i.e. climate change adaptation and mitigation measures and interventions: Incorporation of CR&R considerations into the identification and prioritisation of the Catalytic Land Development Programmes. Link precinct management with existing and relevant disaster management planning.%u2022 Additional investment, fiscal support or human capital/expertise is identified in support of climate change response and resilience: Incorporation of climate change experts into relevant forums and decision-making structures responsible for city%u2019s project pipeline. Identify and package projects to facilitate access to climate finance.%u2022 Climate change response and resilience goals and outcomes are actioned through institutional arrangements: Identify/confirm incorporation of CR&R and Disaster Risk Management experts within transversal arrangements for planning and implementation in the priority spatial targeting areas.%u2022 Climate change response and resilience goals and outcomes are reflected in a monitoring and evaluation framework: Incorporate CR&R considerations into city transformational and reporting reform indicators. Review and evaluate how mainstreaming is being implemented to learn lessons to further institutionalise the system.
