The calculation requires data on possible health impacts (Disability-Adjusted Live Years: DALY) and/or economic impacts as well as assumptions about the counterfactual (what would have happened without adaptation). To limit complexity, the approach is typically applied to a single climate change impact such as flooding. A pilot application has been undertaken for a coastal protection project in Viet Nam. The methodology is described in detail in the publication and illustrated by comparing two adaptation options in Viet Nam: building a dyke or planting mangroves.

Each standard is directly linked with one of the five qualification criteria and allows an assessment along four categories (from very weak to very strong EbA). The assessment framework also proposes example indicators by which the quality of an EbA initiative can be measured. These indicators are neither comprehensive nor complete but can serve as an inspiration for how to monitor the quality of an EbA initiative. The assessment of a particular EbA initiative should assign at least one measurement (or indicator) to each of the categories. While many indicators could be considered, a minimal and practically implementable set of indicators is needed for effective monitoring and evaluation, as well as actual planning. Indicators should be measurable. For some EbA initiatives, data might be available to measure in absolute terms, for example an area of land restored, household earnings, or the makeup of community livelihoods.

The result of the vulnerability assessment guided the local government units and the DENR region 5 in the rehabilitation of degraded portions of the Quinali watershed considering that it is an important watershed that provide water for irrigation, domestic water supply to communities and water for industrial uses. Most of the vulnerability maps were used in the preparation of watershed development and management plan for the Quinali watershed.

Thus, a bird’s eye view of the totality of the watershed is attainable with the techniques used in the study. Thus, there is more accuracy on the data and information gathered through the method used compared to data generated through ground surveys. While the initial investment of procuring SimClim is high plus the cost of using it, it would be more beneficial in the long-run. On this basis, the method used in the study would have higher ratio in favor of benefit than cost. Also, by reducing data gathering errors on the ground, the cost of site development would be cheaper because repetitive activities would be eliminated.
