Background

This computer-based tool is multi-sectoral and currently being tested in South Asia, soon expanding to a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. The tool undertakes a sensitivity analysis for specific projects and flags activities that are sensitive to climate change as well as gives advice on adaptation activities. The tool utilises project location and activity information which are screened through a project activity sensitivity matrix based on GCM data. The tool does not utilise specific vulnerability data or adaptation at the sectoral. ADAPT is not explicitly a decision-making tool and does not address sensitivities at the programme level. The tool is meant for use by development practitioners, including bank staff, bilateral agencies, the NGO community and client governments. More information >

Some features of ADAPT are:

  • Screens multiple sectors, including agriculture, irrigation and biodiversity. Components on rural roads and coastal infrastructure are planned
  • Screens multiple regions
  • Easy and quick to use
  • Will include climate-change-relevant maps, such as of hazards, crop yields, and land
