  1. Disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation Bridging the gap Climate Training Kit

  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 hazards (and industrial/man-made) Disaster risk reduction Overlap between DRR and CCA DRR central to CCA, by addressing current risks disaster risk reduction Based on Mitchell & van Aalst 2008 Photos: Danish Red Cross

  3. Climate-risk management builds on existing capacities and knowledge

  4. Climate-risk management is an add-on to existing programmes and projects

  7. Key components of CCA in a National Society CCA a cross-cutting issue, so may involve many departments Disaster management Health and care CLIMATE (CHANGE) RISKS Water and sanitation Food security Others

  8. Photo: Danish Red Cross Bridging the gap: reduce vulnerability • Reducing vulnerability to climate variability is a good starting point for adaptation • Seek no-regret options; avoid maladaptation • Assess what hazards people are most vulnerable to, and how will climate change affect them • Help build readiness to adapt into organizations, including community and local-government structures.

  9. more specific information more time to reduce risk Using information across timescales… Climate change rising risks, trends, more surprises Decades, end of century Longer lead time Seasonal forecasts level of risk in coming months Next 3-6 months Weather forecasts impending hazard 10 days or less Shorter lead time
