Overview

This guidance document intends to provide countries with a practical tool on using climate information in their decision-making processes. A key concern frequently raised by practitioners is designing sound adaptation programmes under the uncertainties commonly associated with climate change. This guide addresses these issues of adaptation planning under uncertainty of observed and projected climate change.

Summary:

Background

The Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) methodology helps us to understand the implications of climate change for the lives and livelihoods of the people we serve. By combining local knowledge with scientific climate information, the process builds people’s understanding about climate risks and adaptation strategies. It provides a framework for dialogue within communities, as well as between communities and other stakeholders.
