Methodology

How RISE is built

The methodology organizes the process of review, analysis, measure identification and multimedia production so profiles, factsheets and stories are comparable.

RISE brings together documented cases. A case does not by itself prove that an intervention caused the reported outcomes. An area without cases may still have initiatives or climate risks. Check the sources and dates on each record; this catalogue is neither a census nor a comparative assessment of countries.

Stage 1

Desk review

Review of national, multilateral and technical sources.

Stage 2

Country profile

Preparation of climate risk and vulnerability diagnostics.

Stage 3

Measure identification

Mapping existing adaptation actions by country.

Stage 4

Story selection

Prioritization of one featured case per country with a narrative focus.

Stage 5

Multimedia production

Development of videos, factsheets, photographs and territorial stories.

Stage 6

Regional synthesis

Preparation of the regional comparative report and shared lessons.

Criteria and scope

These criteria summarize what is analyzed, how cases are selected and which limits the platform must make transparent.

  • Countries analyzed: Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Honduras.
  • Risks selected from national, multilateral and technical sources.
  • Measures identified by territorial relevance, learning potential and available evidence.
  • Stories prioritized by youth leadership, geographic diversity and narrative clarity.
  • Limitations: data availability, regional comparability and periodic content updates.
