Participatory Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment for Farming Communities: The Agusan del Norte CCAP Experience

Summary

A Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) Assessment takes stock of area characteristics, current and observed climate changes impacts along with natural hazards; and adaptation strategies employed in response to these, as well as looks at climate change scenarios for a particular locality. It is a risk assessment and looks at alternative adaptation coping capacities with respect to the likely risk scenarios.

This tool kit provides an overview of the principles and key concepts of V&A, a step-by-step overview of the process that drives a V&A assessment and reviews report formulation and follow-through activities.
