This guidebook, developed by GIZ in collaboration with Eurac Research and United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), helps planners and practitioners in designing and implementing climate risk assessments in the context of Ecosystem-based Adaptation projects. The guidebook presents a standardized approach to assess risks within social-ecological systems based on multiple application examples. A Spanish version of the guidebook is also available here.
