There is little evidence on how best to make monitoring and evaluation approaches practical at the local scale. Cities worldwide face important social, environmental and economic conflicts related to resource inequality, poverty, environmental pollution and social tensions that coexist with climatic risks. It makes sense to integrate climate change adaptation assessment goals and needs into existing frameworks for the sake of efficiency. This will benefit small urban areas and cities in developing regions that often face data scarcity and may also find available indicators irrelevant to their realities and, thus, be required to adjust them . Efforts to coordinate frameworks for the assessment of sustainability , resilience , greenhouse gas  emissions reporting  can be deployed to learn about contexts. However, they need to be applied with caution as enforcing external requirements may lead to local tensions during their application . In a context where adaptation efforts need to be aggregated and evaluated across nations  and their implications on wider objectives such
