The climate hazards this tool addresses are an interaction between climate and non-climate stressors. Stage in adaptation policy cycle: Ideally, it would influence AD policy as well as sectoral investments and decisions re: land use, water allocation and management.

Description:
The guidelines synthesize the shared knowledge and experience of the roundtable partners in developing frameworks for vulnerability and adaptation assessments (VAAs) and implementing them in the GMS over the past decade. Specifically, these guidelines incorporate the direct experience of recent projects that have used watersheds as an organizing element for climate-change VAAs.
