Before and After the LCMT Project Implementation Slight improvement Slight improvement Before After

Feedback for LCT-I System Advantages: help improve the town performance to reach targets, but need data collection system on parameters to calculate such related indicators able to track situation via continuously monitoring the determined indicators raise the public and private sector awareness to involve in developing more low carbon projects stimulate local people and tourists to participate the low carbon features and attend more and more to support the low carbon town activities Disadvantages: costly to develop indicators where the database is not supported require coordination from relevant stakeholders to assemble indicators and make publicly available information

Feedback for LCT-I System What are the difficulties in the evaluation process? How do you think the LCT-I System can be improved? unclear definitions and questions to those answers to be evaluated different town characteristics may not require same questions to be evaluated bias evaluation without evidence or proof How are you going to utilize the evaluation results? Any expectations for the LCMT secretariat to further develop the LCT-I System? periodically assess LCT-I and see how the score in each category be improved LCT-I shall be reviewed from time to time to be improved from the feed-back from the economies
