Adaptation, Livelihoods and Ecosystems Planning Tool

In this user manual and the ALivE tool, EbA refers to sustainable management, conservation, and restoration of ecosystems to build resilience and decrease the vulnerability of communities to climate change. [...] The time required to undertake the gathering of information will vary and depend largely on the scope of the analysis, the amount of information already available about the target area and the existing relationships with local stakeholders. [...] PHASE 2 – Analysing the information using ALivE: Step by Step In the second phase, you will use ALivE to analyse the Page 17 information gathered in Phase 1. This will involve sharing and validating the results with stakeholders to ensure the information has been interpreted correctly and to inform the design of project activities. [...] EbA and CBA share objectives and often use similar tools and strategies to engage stakeholders; however, EbA places strong emphasis on the role of ecosystems in supporting adaptation and the need to maintain ecosystem health for community adaptation efforts to be effective and sustainable. [...] To access a particular point in the tool, click on any of the step icons and a sub-menu will open that allows you to go directly to the beginning of the step, or a particular sub-step.
