This study conducts a systematic literature review of assessment frameworks used for climate change responses, analyzing how they address what the authors identified as key requirements. By expanding the scope beyond CDR-specific assessment frameworks, they identify and derive valuable insights and approaches that can inform their refinement. Following a three-step approach, they first conducted a preceding scoping review to determine key requirements for holistic assessments. Second, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify a broad range of assessment frameworks for climate responses. Third, based on a qualitative content analysis we examined how these frameworks address the key requirements identified earlier.
