Synergies in Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation

Explore overlaps and synergies in DRR, CCA, and EMR for long-term adjustment to climate change effects. Good DRR practices are crucial defenses against climate impacts. Discover community activities, like early warning systems and ecosystem services, for better risk management. Photos courtesy of the Danish Red Cross.

  1. Exercise C: DRR - Disaster Risk Reduction, CCA - Climate Change Adaptation, and EMR - Ecosystems Management and Restoration – overlaps and synergies

  2. adaptation to climate change adaptation to climate change Long-term adjustment to changing average climate conditions (incl. benefits) Climate risk management (including weather extremes) Risk management of geophysical (and industrial/man-made) hazards disaster risk reduction “DRR” and “CCA” Good DRR is the first-line defence against the effects of climate change disaster risk reduction Based on Mitchell & van Aalst 2008 Photos: Danish Red Cross<<<<<<<<<<<c

  4. Riskreduction / adaptation measures • Community activities: • Early warning & evacuation plans • Awareness raising • Protect water sources Photos: Danish Red Cross

  5. Ecosystem services – risk regulation Photos: Danish Red Cross Deforested slopes in The Philippines - huge erosion, landslide and flash flood risks Farming on steep slopes in Uganda - huge erosion and landslide risks

  6. Group work on DRR – CCA – EMR synergies (Disaster) Risk Reduction Ecosystem Management & Restoration Climate Change Adaptation
