The Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Toolbox's Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Module aims to assist forest managers in assessing and responding to climate-change challenges and opportunities. It provides both basic and more detailed information on key issues to be considered in assessing climate-change vulnerability and risks and adaptation and mitigation options. The module provides links to important tools and to cases in which these tools have been applied in forestry to adapt to, and mitigate climate change.

This website is a detailed guide on climate smart agriculture (CSA). It explains the basics of CSA, its approaches and building pillars (through videos, readings and more). The user will find support and tools for planning, implementing and monitoring CSA projects and programmes, an overview of potential funding sources to finance a CSA plan, a resource library containing tools, publications and more, some mapped case studies describing CSA initiatives and practices. Through this didactic teaching of CSA practices, the user gains knowledge on building a more resilient agriculture. These key informations can feed in the initiation and launch of the national adaptation plan (NAP) process, but also enable the review and appraisal of adaptation options. It brings understanding and enhances capacity for planning and implementing adaptation practices but also to better tackle monitoring and evaluation in the NAP process.
