Community-based Risk Screening Tool -Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRISTAL) (2006)

Community-based Risk Screening Tool -Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRISTAL) is being developed for use primarily in developing countries by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Stockholm Environment Institute - Boston Center and Intercooperation.

This tool helps in understanding the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and to improve the natural resources, physical and social capital, and human resources necessary to deal with them. CRISTAL was developed to get a thorough understanding of the links between livelihoods and climate change impacts and thereby help communities and project managers to maximise opportunities to adapt to climate change. Field testing of CRISTAL in Mali, Tanzania, and sites in Central America will lead to revisions of the tool before making it widely available.
