Baseline

The purpose of this group of steps is to monitor progress with regards to the adaptation goals defined in Goal definition, this step will identify relevant indicators and will assess the current situation and set a baseline.

Underlying steps are:

Define indicators to enable measuring status and status changes.
Determine current baseline performance to determine the current status of goal factors
Determine current baseline of other relevant factors to be able to monitor side effects of changes that are made to increase climate resilience

Performing a participatory scenario analysis is a useful methodology to define indicators and relevant factors for this entire step.
