CRiSTAL: Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods
Summary:
Background
The Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL) is designed to help project planners and managers integrate climate change adaptation into community-level projects. This project-based tool is aimed at numerous users and is currently being piloted for Nicaragua, Mali, Tanzania and Sri Lanka in sectors such as agriculture, water resource management, infrastructure, and natural resource management. The tool requires detailed project inputs and vulnerability data. The tool delivers vulnerability and livelihood profiles as well as details for project modification. A parallel tool is being planned which aims to focus on the project portfolio side which would be intended to help programme managers integrate adaptation concerns into their over project portfolio at the strategic planning level. Field-tested on natural resources/livelihoods projects in Bangladesh, Mali, Tanzania, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, Ecuador and India. More information>
