International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (ISDR)
Description:
Disaster risk reduction is critically important to adapting to the changing climate. Disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change share the same ultimate goal of reducing vulnerability to weather and climate hazards. Disaster risk reduction efforts are guided by the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters. The Framework aims for “the substantial reduction of disaster losses, in lives and in the social, economic and environmental assets of communities and countries.”
ISDR - Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation to Climate Change
International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (ISDR) secretariat has provided information and guidance on disaster risk reduction as a tool to manage climate risks and adapt to climate change, both to inform international policy deliberations and to assist governments and other parties to reduce climate-related vulnerabilities and risk, in line with the Hyogo Framework.
