Climate Proof
A four step guide for coastal projects

Scientific evidence suggests that variations in temperature, weather patterns and sea level will impact coastal ecosystems and communities. This easy to use four step guide has been developed to help coastal project managers effectively address the potential impacts of climate change and enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of projects. The four step guide helps project managers:

• Understand climate drivers that cause physical changes in coastal zones;
• Identify potential impacts of climate change on achieving project objectives;
• Identify appropriate adaptation actions; and
• Identify resource requirements to implement adaptation actions and ensure long-term sustainability of interventions.

Climate Proof
A Reference Tool to Coastal Climate Change in the
Context of Mangroves for the Future

This document has been produced as a reference tool for MFF project partners. The tool is one component in a series of activities undertaken to mainstream climate change into the MFF programme. The work led by UNEP, in collaboration with UNDP, aims to ensure that climate change adaptation considerations are included in all phases of the MFF initiative and projects.

The aim of this reference tool is to support the integration of climate change within the MFF initiative. The tool has not been designed to be read from cover to cover; each section can be read independently, allowing users to identify and use the sections which are most relevant to their needs.
