34 GUIDELINE ON MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE RESPONSIVENESS AND RESILIENCE INTO URBAN PLANNINGThe first round of assessments was of the 2019/20 Council Approved BEPPs only. All eight metros completed BEPPs in this year. During the following year in 2020/21, both Cape Town and Johannesburg transitioned out of the BEPP, and did not submit a BEPP. For the remaining six metros, the 2020/21 BEPPs were assessed, and feedback was provided. In the case of Cape Town and Johannesburg, the suite of available strategic planning documents was assessed using the same assessment framework. For the 2021/22 period assessments, a range of planning documents were considered for all the metros and included the IDP, the SDF and the Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) or City Development Strategy (CDS).It is important to note that the assessments only considered published planning instruments such as the BEPP, IDP, SDF, GDS, CDS and some sector plans. The assessment was only able to account for the information captured in these documents.Assessment consideration (criteria)Content requirements as per CR BEPP Guidance NoteYear applicable & detail expected2019/20 2020/21 2021/221.
