Description
How can the disaster risk reduction community address the envisaged effects of climate-related extreme events on humanitarian and development assistance? Experts from both fields will provide their insights on what they can contribute in order to make disaster risk reduction work in the Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development Concept under changing climatic conditions. Are all tools of disaster risk reduction equally important and useful in this context? Are there possibilities to enhance existing tools? Suggestions of how to address the quality aspect in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation; and how to translate concepts into action will be presented.
