Participatory Assessment of Climate and Disaster Risks (PACDR) - A Tool for Integrating Climate and Disaster Risks into Community Planning and Development. Version 9.
The Participatory Assessment of Climate and Disaster Risks (PACDR) tool consists of seven modules that build upon each other to enable users to systematically integrate the consideration of climate and disaster risks into community planning and development.
The tool is designed to be self-explanatory to the degree that first- time users with community participation experience and basic knowledge of climate change can work their way through the modules without assistance. Community-level project developers, managers and field staff may also find the tool useful in assessing existing or planned development projects.
The tool is intended to help communities raise awareness, assess their climate change and disaster risks and to develop adaptation strategies. Non-governmental or community-based organizations and district or local governments may initiate and facilitate the process.
