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.
