Description:
Exploring synergies between Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction
Although climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction have different histories and are supported by different sets of institutions, knowledge centres, policy frameworks and funding mechanisms, there is a growing realisation that they share a common risk management agenda. Both fields have complementary strengths (and weaknesses), which highlight the need of exploring closer links and productive synergies. The rising political visibility of climate change adaptation and rapidly growing support from donors and national governments can be seen as an opportunity for DRR while the academic research, extensive practical experience and the DRR methods and tools which have been developed over the last two decades are of great interest to the climate sector.
