Description

Building on the 2011 Global Assessment Report, the case for integrated drought risk management needs to shift from response and crisis management to proactive risk reduction. Partners in the field have been coordinating policy and research that focuses on two key strategic areas: the causes of drought risks; and the most effective tools and methods for reducing and managing drought risks, such as integrated drought management; and links to integrated water resource management, assessments, and enhanced drought early warning and monitoring systems.
