Designing climate change adaptation initiatives: a UNDP Toolkit for Practitioners

This Toolkit aspires to support all those involved in the design of measurable, verifiable, and reportable adaptation initiatives. It provides step-by-step guidance. As such, it seeks to answer the following question: What are the basic steps in planning and designing an adaptation initiative? This Toolkit is organized into four main sections, each reflecting a vital component in the process of formulating and articulating an adaptation initiative: 1. Making the Case 2. Key Steps 3. Building Consensus 4. Tools and Methodologies. Throughout the text, there is advice on key information required, relevant sources, and critical issues to consider, and examples that are relevant to designing a climate change adaptation initiative.
