Questions

What does Climate ChangeAdaptation mean?

Why Should we mainstream

Climate Change Adaptation?


3/


SEA Climate

Change Training,

Thailand, 2014

The concept and practice of reducing disaster

risks through systematic efforts to analyse and

manage the causal factors of disasters, including

through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened

vulnerability of people and property, wisemanagement of land and the environment, and

improved preparednessfor adverse events

Disaster Risk Reduction


4/Climate Training Kit. Module 2C Disaster Management

Adjustment in natural or human systems inresponse to actual or expected climatic stimuli or

their effects, which moderates harm or exploits

beneficial opportunities

Climate Change

Adaptation



SEA Climate

Considering and addressing risks associated with

disasters and climate change

in all processes of policy-making, planning,

budgeting, implementation, andmonitoring.

Mainstreaming CCA and DRR

Exercise

Divide Participants into 5 groups :

Group 1 : geophysical hazards

Group 2 : Rainfall

Group 3 : Storm

Group 4 : Sea Level RiseGroup 5 : Raise of the Temperature

Identify its Possible Impact on People

and Society

Identify the actions to prepare to and

Climate risk management builds on

existing capacities and knowledge



SEA Climate

Climate risk management is an add-

on to existing programmes and

projects

Account for evolving risk and

rising uncertainty

Accommodate multiple timescales

...we respond

to warnings , not

disasters

Assess your National Societyplans and work areas in light of

climate information and

establish priorities:

What are the current risks

and how w il l they be affectedby c l imate variabi l i ty and

change?

What needs to be done

differently?

Where do we want to focus?

SEA Climate

Accounting for new and rising risks due toclimate change, for example:

Contingency planningincluding pre-

emptive actions based on climate and

weather information Reviewing location of relief warehouses

and distribution channels, evacuation

centres etc.

Mobilisation and training of a sufficiently

large volunteer base ready to assist in

impending disasters

Can you think of other potential

actions?

Enhancing preparedness for

response

Dont rebuild risk:

Long term safe areas need to be

identified before shelters are builtor beneficiaries are relocated; e.g.

are shelters on higher ground in

flood prone coastal areas?Photos: Danish Red Cross

Enhancing Recovery



SEA Climate

Change Training,

Thailand, 2014

Include indicators to verify DM programmes are

climate-smart and contribute to adaptation, e.g.:

Are DM Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

and contingency plans adjusted to monitor seasonalforecasts and reactto them?

Are there plans to ensure emergency response

infrastructure and stocks are positioned in safe

locationsin case of more extreme events?

Are community risk reduction plans designed tohandle more extreme events?

Do at-risk communities have access to early

warning information (and can they react)?

Monitoring and documenting impact




SEA Climate

Change Training,

Thailand, 2014

Consider how climate and weather-

related hazards adds to community

risks by using the Vulnerability and

Capacity Assessment (VCA)

Climate change should be considered

amongst the manyfactors that affect

riskand addressed in the VCA and

community risk reduction plans

(Plan of Actions)

Community Assessments
