The CAP tool has been designed to enable farmers to identify the climate impacts relevant for their enterprise and provide guidance for identifying specific on-farm solutions. The user-friendly tool assists land managers to develop an individual plan with the adaptation and mitigation actions needed to take the first steps towards having a climate resilient farm.

The CAP focuses on four climate drivers – temperature, wind, water, and seasonality and looks at what can be done as these drivers are changing. It is designed to encourage self-guided information collection and research. Advice on how to gather information and conduct your own research is provided along the way.

The BCLN is also planning a series of workshops in the future to help more landowners develop their own CAP.
