If you prefer to search the entire CCORAL toolbox, containing over 160 tools (many of which are not ‘end-to-end’), .

* These tools are all considered ‘end to end’ instruments, in that they contain vulnerability, risk, adaptation option identification and adaptation appraisal assessments . All are also of high quality, from reputable sources, freely available and intended for use in developing countries. It is advisable not to repeat steps in these tools (notably early screening exercises) which have already been undertaken using CCORAL.

** The criterion ’User friendly and accessible to non-experts’ refers to an instrument that uses non-technical language, is very easy to follow and clearly presented.

***While representing good practice, the Caribbean Risk Management Guidelines include a section on ‘Risk Perception’ that is considered to be outdated and recommended to not be utilised when using the guidance.
