Which DivAirCity indicator is relevant for your targets?

The second step of this process is to select relevant indicators which can monitor progress towards meeting these initial objectives.

Following the indicator filtering process, there is then a much shorter list of potential indicators which it is feasible for a city partner to look through in greater detail. Based on this, the shortlist may be reduced further, or gaps may be identified where additional indicators are needed.

It is important for cities to consider which NBS interventions they are likely to use as part of the project at this stage, to ensure that indicators are selected which can measure the intervention area before, during and after its implementation.

The framework provides:

  • A long list of indicators 
  • Filtering mechanisms for the aforementioned long list of indicators. For example, if a city wishes to decarbonise, a keyword which indicators can be narrowed down by is ‘carbon’. In the long list, there are 6 indicators containing this word which are therefore selected.
