Overview

Climate Risk Planning and Management (CRISP) is an interactive tool, created for actors in the Agri-Food sector, that helps mainstream climate risk considerations into project design and implementation. 

It specifically supports project managers and practitioners in agriculture, rural development and food and nutrition security projects, to strengthen funding proposals and assist them in planning and implementing relevant climate change adaptation measures for specific agri-food systems.

CRISP guides users 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 tool enables users to:

  • Conduct a quick and simple climate risk screening and develop a climate-focused adaptation hypothesis to strengthen project proposals. CRISP highlights context-specific underlying drivers, vulnerability factors, and potential cascading climate impacts.
  • Identify or validate agricultural adaptation options that explicitly address agriculture system specific climate impacts. CRISP shares adaptation options that can help reduce specific vulnerabilities.
  • Get insights to inform project monitoring & evaluation plans. CRISP identifies adaptation options of interest and shows which vulnerabilities and impacts are being addressed.
  • Get guidance on additional science-driven approaches and tools available to support climate actions through project implementation. CRISP provides references to relevant tools and guidelines that support adaptation implementation.
