CRiSTAL (Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods)

CRiSTAL (Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods) is a screening tool designed to help project designers and managers integrate risk reduction and climate change adaptation into community-level projects.

It helps project designers and managers:

Understand the links between livelihoods and climate in their project areas;
Assess a project’s impact on community-level adaptive capacity; and
Make project adjustments to improve its impact on adaptive capacity and reduce the vulnerability of communities to climate change.
