{% hint style="warning" %}
The implementation phase of actions is [subsequent](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/introduction-to-the-low-carbon-transition/what-is-a-low-carbon-transition-approach#role-des-demarches-de-transition-bas-carbone) to the Bilan Carbone®. However, it is nevertheless the initiator.

The Bilan Carbone® method does not impose any obligation on how to **implement** the transition plan, but makes the following recommendations:&#x20;

> :mag\_right:  *These recommendations are aligned with the* [*Guide for the construction, implementation and monitoring of a transition plan*](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/appendices/bibliography#guide-pour-la-construction-la-mise-en-oeuvre-et-le-suivi-dun-plan-de-transition-de-lademe) *of ADEME:*

* **Validation of the transition plan** : validation by the management of the organisation is important. It leads to an easier allocation of the resources required for each action.
* **Provision of necessary resources** : The organisation shall ensure the availability of **financial, organisational, human and material resources** so that the transition plan can be properly carried out. This also takes into account training and skill development of the people responsible for its monitoring and implementation.
* **Communication** of the transition plan and [Stakeholder engagement ](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/3-stakeholder-engagement): this step is fundamental in order to integrate all stakeholders into the approach and thereby enable its deployment. The provision of human and technical means will thus be strengthened.
* Finally, a [process of **annual monitoring of significant activity data.**](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/5-transition-plan/5.5-monitoring-and-governance-of-the-transition-plan) shall be put in place, aiming to **evaluate/correct/readapt** the actions throughout the implementation of the transition plan in order to better adapt to the organisation's current situation. But also enabling to**evaluate the success** of the action plan.

{% hint style="success" %}
Implementing the actions constitutes the main purpose of a [low-carbon transition approach](https://www.bilancarbone-methode.com/methode-bilan-carbone-r-en/introduction-to-the-low-carbon-transition/what-is-a-low-carbon-transition-approach). All steps of the Bilan Carbone® must then enable a real, effective and smooth execution of the planned actions. This step is unique to each organisation, and requires a personalised approach to ensure its success.
