This report presents the results of an application of the Climate and Disaster Risks Tool (CliDR), a modified version of CRiSTAL, in Gommier, Haiti.

As part of the Climate Risk Management Technical Assistance Support Project (CRM TASP), consultations on climate risks were held with coastal and rural communities accross Honduras. The results are presented in this report (in Spanish).

This report presents the results of two applications of the Climate and Disaster Risks Tool (CliDR), a modified version of CRiSTAL, in Southern Honduras.

This report presents the results of an application of CRiSTAL in the village Nanga Bere on the island of Flores in Indonesia, to screen proposed livelihood support activities regarding their contribution to vulnerability reduction and adaptive capacity.

Intercooperation led a field test of CRiSTAL in conjunction with a sustainable hillside agriculture project being undertaken in northwestern Nicaragua.

This report presents the results of an application of the Climate and Disaster Risks Tool (CliDR), a modified version of CRiSTAL, in Guidan Ider, Niger.

In this CRiSTAL Stories brief, Marius Keller (IISD) and Tatiana Farfán de la Vega (CARE-Peru) document how application of the CRiSTAL framework in the municipality of Santa Teresa, in the Cusco region of Peru, led local communities to identify a range of climate and gender-sensitive adaptation measures, in line with 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 has now been replicated in the surrounding municipalities.

UNDP, UNEP and IUCN organized a CRISTAL training and field application of the CRiSTAL Tool as part of the Adaptation based on Mountain Ecosystems Project in the city of Lunahuaná, Lima, Peru.

As part of the Climate Risk Management Technical Assistance Support Project (CRM TASP), consultations on climate risks were held with communities in the upper watershed of the Piura River, in Peru. This report summarizes the results (in Spanish).

In this CRiSTAL Stories brief, Julie Karami (IISD) and Sophie Kutegeka (IUCN-Uganda) document how the application of the Community-Based Risk Screening Tool— Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL) framework in Sansaza parish, Eastern Uganda, led to the development of a community-driven water gravity flow scheme for irrigation. The scheme will help people adapt to prolonged dry spells—a trend that may increase in the context of climate change. Other outcomes of the CRiSTAL process include: the development of a common understanding of the climate issues, increased cohesion among local actors and increased support for climate adaptation in the area from external agencies.

As part of the UNITAR project called C3D+ (Capacity Development for Adaptation to Climate Change and GHG Mitigation and Non-Annex I Countries) , IISD applied CRiSTAL in Western Province, Zambia, in July 2009. The objectives were to improve the capacity of local non-governmental organisations and community-based organisations to gather local information on climate change vulnerability and adaptation and integrate this information into project design and management.
