This toolkit has been developed to help community organisations develop responses to climate change. It aims to give community leaders and members a general understanding of climate change and provide some ideas for action. Given that each community’s needs and context are different, the ideas and tools presented in this toolkit are meant to be used as a general guide and starting point for responding to climate change.It for sections deal in turn with providing a knowledge base on climate change; community oriented adaptation measures; tools and templates for achieving adaptation; and finally a list of useful contacts and online resources.

This toolbox has been developed to help non-governmental, community based, and grassroots organisations become more effective in relating their climate change stories and garnering attention when lobbying and advocating for the policies, laws and other actions necessary to mitigate and adapt to climate change from the international to the local levels. It sets out a range of tools and approaches for effective communication about issues relating to climate change. The focus is on tools and approaches that are low-cost and easy to implement. It also includes suggestions on making effective use of the increasingly affordable and accessible communication technologies that are available, such as email, social media etc.
