Criteria 1.3: Criteria 1.3: To ensure relevance and continuous improvement, concrete actions are periodically adjusted to changing conditions
1.3.3 In case of unintended adverse consequences on biodiversity, concrete actions are modified accordingly
|
For compliance, actions are modified:
when the monitoring shows that one or more unintended, adverse consequences has occurred as a result of the implementation of the action
with adjustments that allow for resolving the unintended, adverse consequences
The OaS is responsible for defining the adjustments. OaS can delegate this task to external experts and it has to supervise that adjustments are proposed according to the requirements. CH provides monetary, technical and other types of support when resources at the OaS are not sufficient to carry out the task. Field operators/OaS implement the adjustments falling under their responsibility. The UEBT BAP workplan and monitoring templates includes all relevant information to be included when adjusting actions and can be used for reporting.

DOCUMENTATION
The BAP workplan template from UEBT can be used to fufil this requirement. Updates to the filled out template can be used as evidence. Any other form of reporting containing updated actions, timelines and responsibilities for implementation can also be used as evidence.
INTERVIEWS
Interviews with relevant people who speak about updated actions can also be used as evidence. Scoring guidance
0 - Actions are not modified despite adverse consequences on biodiversity derived from them
1 - Only some actions that required to be modified are modified, but this does not address all their adverse consequences
2 - Actions are adjusted and for most of them this is sufficient to address adverse consequences
3 - Actions are modified in a way that address all the adverse consequences/No modification is needed because adverse consequences are not witnessed
