How it’s used

The toolkit is applied through a combination of desk research, expert interviews, and participatory workshops. It supports the development of country-specific roadmaps that reflect local priorities and constraints, ensuring that CDR strategies are not only ambitious but also actionable.

Why it matters

By grounding CDR planning in real-world conditions, the CRRA toolkit helps countries move from abstract climate targets to concrete steps. It empowers national actors to make informed decisions, build public trust, and contribute meaningfully to global climate goals.
