6. Climate Mapper by USAID, NASA, CATHALAC e.a. Short description.It is a free ‘plug-in’ for the NASA World Wind 3D virtual globe as well as the SERVIR-Viz virtual globe interface. The purpose of the Climate Mapper is to make the results of climate change models accessible to a broad user community. With the Climate Mapper, users can assess and compare climate change projections for the 2030s and 2050s against 3D visualisations of landscape. Target group Development planners, academic institutions, general public. Costs free Time needed Five minutes to download and install with broadband connection. Afterward, tool is interactive and resultsinstantaneous.

8. Climate Change Data Portal, World Bank Short description An entry point for access to climate related data and tools. It provides access to comprehensive global and country data information related to climate change and development. The portal intends to serve as a common platform to collect, integrate, and display CC relevant information Target group Policy Makers and Development Practitioners. Costs free of charge Time needed Less than one hour. Level of climate expertise neededlow to medium Web linkhttp://www.worldbank.org/climateportal Contact Ana Bucher, World Bank, abucher@worldbank.org Other important information Open source platform with intelligent links to global climate-related databases. The portal contains historical and projected spatially referenced data, a webGISvisualisation tool, and access to resourceful information at the country level.

10. Tools to Mainstreaming climate change in the development process

11. CI:grasp, PIK and GIZ Name of tool CI:grasp (Climate Impacts: Global & Regional Adaptation Support Platform) Short description An interactive information platform will be developed, initially in some pilot countries.The platform will contain 3 main information layers, compiled and collected in a user friendlymanner: • Climate change parameter (liketemperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) • Physical and socio-economic impacts (e.g. sea-level rise, chances in agricultural production, losses due to extreme events, etc.) • Adaptation options and experiences. Target group Decision makers that want to anticipate climate change in their decisions and search for options of adaptation to climate change. These could be e.g. ministries, governmental agencies, sectorspecialists, developmentagencies, NGOs, etc. Costsfree of charge Time needed2 hours Level of climate expertise neededmoderate Status of application in your organisation voluntary Web linkhttp://www.ci-grasp.org/ ContactJan Peter Schemmel, GIZ, jan-peter.schemmel@gtz.de Dr. Jürgen Kropp, PIK, kropp@pik-potsdam.de

13. weADAPT,Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) Short description weADAPT is the overall brand for a set of activities, tools and services developed through collaboration between the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the University of Cape Town and an expanding number of other partners. Target group Decision-makers including project officers, planners and advisors in technical assistance agencies, NGOs, donor agencies, as well as researchers and those involved in policyprocesses. CostsAll tools and materials are free for download and use. Time needed Not intended for one-time use but rather on-going. Level of climate expertise neededSome tech-know how is helpful. Status of application in your organisation Platform has been institutionalised at SEI Oxford and working on collaborations with others (SEI Asia, US and Stockholm, UNEP, Sida, Enda, DFID, Oxfam, etc.) to expand its use. Web based tool wikiADAPT is web-based; CCx, Adaptation Layer and ADx prototypes currently available for download with plans to make these tools web-based in the near future.

15. ALM Adaptation Learning Mechanism, UNDP Short description The Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) supports learning on climate change adaptation through good practice and experience by promoting knowledge exchange and collaboration between practitioners. Target group The ALM targets development practitioners and is seeking to create partnerships across agencies, sectors and levels, i.e. UN, IGO’s, national and local government representatives, Civil Society Organisations, private sector, community-based organisations.

17. ORCHID by DFIDUK Department for International Development (Opportunities and Risks of CC and Disasters) Short description It is a systematic climate risk management methodology which assesses the relevance of CC and disaster risks to an organisation’s portfolio of development projects. It employs multi-criteria analysis and cost benefit analysis to prioritise additional adaptation and disaster risk reduction options relevant for the programme. Target group Development agency and partner agency programme Costs Dependent on level of detail and availability of data. Time needed: used as part of ongoing systems for programme development t. As a one-off it could be carried out in 1- 2 months. Level of climate expertise neededBasic understanding of climate information and its uncertainty/limitations.

22. CRiSTALby IISD (Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation & Livelihoods) Short description CRiSTAL is a screening process designed to help project designers and managersintegrate risk reduction and CC adaptation into community-level projects (a) Understand the links between livelihoods and climate; (b) Assess a project’s impact on community-level adaptive capacity; and (c) Make project adjustments to improve its impact on adaptive capacity and reduce the vulnerability of communities to CC Target group Project planners working at the community level CostsStaff time, travel or field costs associated with community consultations.
