CEDRIG

CEDRIG

is a

user-friendly risk and impact assessment tool for systematically integrating risks related to climate change, environmental

degradation and natural hazards into development cooperation and humanitarian aid. CEDRIG enhances the overall resilience of systems and communities. It also helps

users secure development achievements and avoid maladaptation in such key areas

as agriculture, water, health, employment and income, education and migration.

CEDRIG aims to protect development gains

Mainstreaming climate and environmental consider-ations and disaster risk reduction into development cooperation and humanitarian aid is a great challenge that offers unprecedented opportunities for strengthen-ing copstrengthen-ing capacities, for protectstrengthen-ing lives and assets and

for improving the well-being of vulnerable communities.

Combining risk and impact perspectives

CEDRIG helps determine whether existing and planned strategies, programmes and projects are at risk from climate change, environmental degradation or natural hazards, as well as whether these interventions could further exacerbate greenhouse gas emissions,

environ-mental degradation or the risks of natural hazards.

CEDRIG Light

serves as an initial filter to determine whether an activity is at risk from climate change,

environmental degradation or natural hazards or could have significant negative impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, the environment or natural hazards. The results are used to decide

if a detailed assessment should be conducted. CEDRIG Light takes approximately one hour and can be

conducted by one person alone. Two modules –

CEDRIG Strategic

(for strategies and programmes) and

CEDRIG Operational

(for projects) – allow for more detailed

assess-ments of risks and impacts and the identifica-tion of concrete measures. They can be con-ducted in the form of a participatory workshop

in the field with all relevant stakeholders. The duration can vary from 1 to 3 days depending upon the scope of field visits. Preparation for the workshop entails conducting an in-depth context analysis on climate change, the

envi-ronment, disaster risks and economic and political factors.
