Description:
The Decision Tree Framework described in this book provides resource-limited project planners and program managers with a cost-effective and effort-efficient, scientifically defensible, repeatable, and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. At the conclusion of this process, the project planner will be empowered to confidently communicate the method by which the vulnerabilities of the project have been assessed, and how the adjustments that were made (if any were necessary) improved the project’s feasibility and profitability. The framework adopts a “bottom-up” approach to risk assessment that aims at a thorough understanding of a project’s vulnerabilities to climate change in the context of other nonclimate uncertainties (for example, economic, environmental, demographic, or political). It helps to identify projects that perform well across a wide range of potential future climate conditions, as opposed to seeking solutions that are optimal in expected conditions but fragile to conditions deviating from the expected.

Implementing partners:
The Decision Tree Framework (DTF) was developed by the World Bank with financing of the Water Partnership Program (WPP), a longstanding partnership among the World Bank and the governments of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Austria, and the collaboration of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the input of several other institutions belonging to the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) such as the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), and others. During its application phase since 2015 it has received the collaboration and input from WPP, the Korean Green Growth Trust Fund, the Ministry of Energy, Government of Nepal; the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the Kenya Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the National Water Commission of Mexico (CONAGUA), the Valley of Mexico Water Basin Organization (OCAVM) and the Mexico City Water System (SACMEX), among others.
