Incorporate Results of the Project-Level Climate Risk Assessment

Incorporating results is the third phase of climate risk management for projects, after conducting the project-level climate risk assessment. To realize the benefits of conducting the climate risk assessment and be able to address and adaptively manage risks during activity design and implementation, design teams must incorporate assessment results into project design. Incorporating CRM into project designs facilitates consideration of climate risks during activity design and implementation. Incorporating assessment results involves refining objectives, incorporating into the project appraisal document (PAD), and documenting results in the environmental compliance analysis.

Pulling for Forests in Vietnam

The wheels are spinning, but the vehicle is going nowhere. It’s rainy season in Vietnam, and dirt roads have become rivers of mud. It’s not uncommon for a vehicle to become mired in the muck. But in this case, the vehicle holds much-needed funds that won’t be delivered to community-based forest owners unless a team of determined forest fund staff rescues it. It’s a sticky situation — but one that may not happen much longer.

Climate Risk Management at the Project Level

This page introduces the implementation of climate risk management (CRM) for project design and implementation. CRM is also implemented for strategies and activities. Climate risk management at the project level involves a careful examination of climate risks that can be addressed through project design as well as climate risks that may be possible to address during activity design and implementation. CRM at this stage also elucidates and informs further analyses that may be needed later in the program cycle to manage climate risks. Although USAID policy allows flexibility in the application of climate risk management (CRM), the process generally comprises four phases (with several steps within each phase)—planning for the assessment, conducting the assessment, incorporating the results of the assessment, and implementing and adaptively managing the project.
