S-ENV5 - Increased Environmental & Climate Knowledge

S-ENV5 - % (percentage) of people demonstrating increased knowledge of environmental sustainability and/or climate change

The purpose of this indicator is to measure the increased knowledge on climate change in communities, through TSA projects.

Definition of key concepts

• Climate change: is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.

• a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods. – UNFCCC

Instructions            

What we measure:

• Total number of people demonstrating increased knowledge of environmental sustainability and climate change. (numerator)

• Total number of people trained in environmental sustainability and/or climate change (denominator)

Who we measure:

• Data to be disaggregated by:

  a.       gender (mandatory)

  b.       disability/minority/socio-economic status/age/rural-urban/educational status (when relevant)

How we measure:

• Administer a pre-test before the training.

• Administer a post-test immediately after the training (or after some period).

• Compare each participant’s scores.

• Count how many participants show an increase from pre to post.

• List of participants from trainings conducted.

Scoring

(Number of participants whose post‑test score is higher than their pre‑test score / total number of participants who completed both tests) × 100
