CRISP

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

CRISP guides you 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.

With CRISP you can

1Conduct a quick and simple climate risk screening and develop a climate-focused adaptation hypothesis to strengthen your project proposal. CRISP will highlight context-specific underlying drivers, vulnerability factors and potential cascading climate impacts (“Adaptation to what”).
2Identify or validate agricultural adaptation options that explicitly address agriculture system specific climate impacts. CRISP will provide you with adaptation options that help reduce specific vulnerabilities. (“Adaptation how”).
3Get insights to inform your project monitoring & evaluation plan. CRISP will identify adaptation options of interest and show which vulnerabilities and impacts are being addressed (“Adaptation tracking”).
4Get guidance on additional science-driven approaches and tools available to support climate actions through your project implementation. This website will provide you with references to relevant tools and guidelines that support you in adaptation implementation (“Adaptation implementation”).

With CRISP you cannot

1Do a comprehensive, analytical and quantitative climate risk assessment (requires data and stakeholder involvement).
2Carry out the evaluation of specific mitigation/adaptation options.
3Explicitly consider trade-offs of adaptation options.
