Abstract

This document contains the results of the evaluation of UNCHAIN case studies. It presents the information on how the five innovations of UNCHAIN project were included in 11 case studies conducted under different contexts in Europe. Using knowledge gaps identified in an initial literature review as the basis and adopting the analytical approach of the Theory of Change, the case innovations were analyzed based on input, activities, output and outcome in addition to context and assumptions. Furthermore, the report contains a synthesis of critical ways the five innovations contributed to improving the climate risk assessment using the Impact Chain method. This report will serve as input into subsequent analysis to advance the IC methodology and influence adaptation decisions and policy.
