Climate Risk Planning and Managing Tool for Development Programmes in Agri-food systems

CRISP is an interactive tool that supports the user to mainstream climate risk considerations into a project design and implementation. It specifically addresses project managers and practitioners in agriculture, rural development and food and nutrition security projects.

CRISP guides the user through a process to understand climate related risks associated with specific agricultural systems, articulate science-based adaptation hypotheses, identify cascading impacts and review relevant adaptation options.

The CRISP tool provides information for climatic hazards, exposure, impacts, vulnerabilities, and adaptation options relevant for a specific farming system .

With CRISP it is possible to:

• Conduct a quick and simple climate risk screening and develop a climate-focused adaptation hypothesis to strengthen a project proposal. CRISP will highlight context-specific underlying drivers, vulnerability factors and potential cascading climate impacts;
• identificate or validate agricultural adaptaiton options tht addresses apecific climate impatecs;
• get insights to inform the project monitoring & evaluation plan. CRISP will identify adaptation options of interest and show which vulnerabilities and impacts are being addressed;
• get guidance on additional science-driven approaches and tools availble to support climate actions.
