The document is a user manual for ALivE (Adaptation, Livelihoods, and Ecosystems), a qualitative assessment tool used within a broader ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) planning process. It guides users through three phases: collecting information via secondary research and participatory methods, analyzing that data through a five-step computerized process to prioritize viable EbA options, and integrating these options into formal policies and planning. The tool emphasizes the links between ecosystem health, human livelihoods, and climate risks, specifically targeting the needs of vulnerable social groups and promoting gender-sensitive implementation.
