A guide to designing and using policy analysis for enhanced climate resilience

This guide is primarily for Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance (Alliance) country teams and aims to support them to design work that analyses global, national, regional or local policies and use insights to inform influencing work. Many Alliance teams are carrying out policy analysis to inform influencing plans and wider work on systems change. Some teams commission consultants to complete detailed policy analysis reports; others lead their own policy analysis work. This first edition of the guide draws on insights from early-stage programme planning for the current phase of the Alliance’s work (2024 – 2027). The intention is to update the guide at relevant points in the future.
