Cross-cutting Thematic Markers: Climate Change

Guidance for the Use of the Climate Change Thematic Marker

Please estimate what % of the budget (or expected results/benefits) of your project are related to climate change mitigation or adaptation, and use the table below as guidance for choosing your marker:

% of the project budget or project results/benefits that relate to CC mitigation or adaptation

Corresponding rating in the climate change marker

50-100%

Significant climate change relevance

10-49%

Moderate climate change relevance

2-9%

Minor climate change relevance

<2%

No climate change relevance

 

If you do not have an estimate of the % climate relevance of your project, please use the table below as guidance. The table is based on case studies of climate relevant projects in Cambodia.
