A project will be classified as "climate change mitigation" if it contributes to the reduction or avoidance of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, or enhances GHG sequestration capacities.

CICLIA uses the carbon footprint as a measurement tool to assess the potential reduction of GHG emissions in the atmosphere, and thus determine the co-benefits of the project in climate change mitigation.

Projects such as sustainable energy supply, mass transportation development and energy efficiency in construction are conducive to mitigation.

A project will be classified as "climate change adaptation" if it contributes to reducing the vulnerability of goods, people and ecosystems to climate risks.

CICLIA uses the methodology of the Common Principles of the Multilateral Development Banks to measure the potential for adaptation to climate change, and thus determine the co-benefits of the project in climate change adaptation.

Projects such as drainage infrastructure, climate risk prevention and management systems are enabling adaptation.
