  5. ICAT Technical Review Guide Executive Summary

Governments around the world are implementing increasingly ambitious policies and actions in pursuit of sustainable development and climate change objectives.
Types of technical review The guide considers three options for conducting a technical review.

The most common examples are review by an internal auditor general or independent regulatory body of the government, or by a consultant who has an interest in, or affiliation with, the design or implementation of the policy.
Series of ICAT assessment guides ICAT aims to help countries assess the impacts of their climate actions, and to support greater transparency, effectiveness, ambition and trust in climate policies worldwide.

Third-party review provides the most independence and credibility, and therefore may be the most appropriate if the review is being conducted with an external audience in mind.
