CRiSTAL Supports Climate-Resilient Development in the Peruvian Andes - Video - Spanish \ English
This video provides testimonies on the application of the Community-based Risk Screening Tool - Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL) framework in several communities in the municipality of Santa Teresa, in the Cusco region of Peru. The application of CRiSTAL led to the identification of a range of climate and gender-sensitive adaptation measures by the local communities, in line with their local culture and traditions. Continuous engagement of local government in the CRiSTAL process further contributed to the inclusion of climate adaptation into local development plans, which is now being replicated in the surrounding municipalities.
