Climate Canvas: A methodology to help NGOs to assess climate change risks and opportunities for community projects

Climate Canvas is a methodology that aims to identify and prioritize the most important climate change-related risks and opportunities for a specific community. It can be used to assess the impacts of climate change on various sectors, such as agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure, and to develop strategies for adapting to these impacts.

In the context of community projects, Climate Canvas methodology can be used to:

• Identify key climate change-related risks and opportunities in the community, such as changes in temperature and precipitation patterns and increased frequency of extreme weather events.

• Assess the potential impacts of these risks and opportunities on specific sectors and projects, such as agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure, and the possible consequences for the community.

• Develop strategies for adapting to the identified risks and opportunities, such as improving water management and irrigation systems or strengthening infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events.

• Prioritize the projects based on their potential impact and feasibility.

• Facilitate communication and collaboration between stakeholders, such as community members, local government officials, and experts, to ensure that the projects are effectively implemented and sustained over time.

It's worth noting that while Climate Canvas can be a valuable tool for community projects, it should be used with caution and with a deep understanding of the local context. It is also important to involve the community in the process to build trust and ensure that the proposed solutions are relevant and effective.
