Overview & Synopsis

The manual provides practical guidance for designing and implementing participatory climate risk assessments and locally led adaptation processes. It supports country teams, facilitators, and local partners to engage communities in identifying climate risks, understanding vulnerabilities, and codeveloping adaptation actions that strengthen livelihoods, safeguard human rights, and build long-term resilience. By grounding investments in local knowledge and priorities, the manual aims to improve the effectiveness, inclusiveness, and sustainability of social subprojects across World Bank operations and partner programs.
