Congratulations on launching a really valuable looking tool. I agree, it will hopefully be used widely by people working on livelihoods and climate adaptation. But as somebody working on ecosystem and biodiversity adaptation to climate change, I'm wondering how strong the links will be in the CRiSTAL tool between ecosystem resilience, climate preparedness and human well-being?
People need natural resources, yes of course, but I think it would be a mistake to look at these resources in isolation, so I hope that some measure of the health or resilience of the ecosystems supporting people and their livelihoods will be explicitly featured. Yes, okay, I was part of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, so I feel strongly about these links being essential for societal adaptation to climate change and minimizing the risk of episodic events like floods, droughts and fires. Good luck and thanks for making this site available! Warm regards - Phoebe
