The tool enables organizations to self-assess their level of climate and environment mainstreaming in three domains (organization, project and partnerships) and take action to improve their level of mainstreaming.

By the end of the training session, participants will be familiar with the concept of the tool and will have drafted an outline of a self-assessment and action plan covering 10 benchmarks as well as a concept for how to start the green journey in their respective organizations.

In addition, participants will have reflected on methodologies for target-setting across their programme portfolio and will have developed an indicative target for their organizations‘ programmes.
