The Act phase focuses on the uptake of results into public and private decision-making, their implementation through concrete actions and policies, and the monitoring and evaluation of progress and effectiveness. A principle of continuous improvement underpins all phases, ensuring iteration, adaptation, and refinement in light of new insights and changing contexts.
