Why?
To ensure that development programs reduce people’s
vulnerability to climate change we must :
understand who is vulnerable to its effects and why.
recognize the critical role that local and national
institutions, as well as public policies, play in shaping
people’s adaptive capacity.
CLIMATE VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS (CVCA)

• Gender-disaggregated
Women in female headed and male-headed
households
Men and women together
Men
• Action-oriented and empowering
Tools to be Used in Community-Level

HAZARD MAP
• Initial identification of important
livelihood resources
• Initial identification of hazards
affecting the community (both
climate-related and other)
• Identification of response
strategies for identified hazards
