Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis Handbook
The Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) Handbook is a Care tool and a comprehensive guide for conducting community-led assessments of climate change vulnerabilities and capacities. It is intended to be used by development practitioners, local communities, and other stakeholders involved in climate change adaptation and resilience-building efforts.
The handbook outlines the step-by-step process of conducting a CVCA, starting with the identification of vulnerable populations, followed by a series of participatory exercises to assess the impacts of climate change on the community, and concluding with the development of a community-driven action plan to address the identified vulnerabilities. It provides practical tools, case studies, and examples from around the world to help users apply the CVCA methodology in their own contexts.
Overall, the CVCA Handbook is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the intersection of climate change and development, and to engage communities in developing solutions that are tailored to their specific needs and priorities.
