Vulnerability Assessment
Characterize the Region •Exposure •Adaptive
Capacity
Research Vulnerability Targeting Local Features
Identify Key Indicators •Current trends •Natural
Resiliency
Prioritize Vulnerable Resources*
* Account for resiliency, costs, risk exposure and willingness to pay for adaptive measures

Evaluate Projects Under Climate Change Conditions
Handbook – Section 6
Develop climate change related performance metrics
Quantify metrics for baseline (no projects) and with projects
and portfolios of projects
Evaluate projects in terms of adaptation performance and
mitigation performance
Prioritize projects based on performance under baseline
and climate change conditions

Implementing Under Uncertainty
Identify climate risk
triggers Define an implementati
on strategy with
alternative paths
Monitor performance
during implementati
on
Implement additional projects at
trigger points
Use additional
information gained to re-
evaluate system
Handbook – Section 7
Adaptive Management
Define projects and strategies
Define scenarios, including climate change scenarios
Evaluate performance of
projects and strategies under
each scenario
Select projects and strategies effective
under a greater number of scenarios
