This document discusses how impact evaluation techniques can help countries in their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes in two key ways: 1) Estimating the economic impacts of climate change on agriculture using the Ricardian technique, which relates farm profits to climate data to quantify damage from climate change and help identify potential adaptations. 2) Estimating the impacts of specific adaptation options using experimental and quasi-experimental techniques to scientifically test which options are effective, informing the selection and improvement of adaptations. Technical expertise is needed to apply these impact evaluation methods, which can address several elements of the NAP process, including assessing vulnerabilities, reviewing adaptations, prioritizing strategies, and monitoring progress.
