In earlier rounds of this dialogue, many have emphasized the importance of linking both DRR and CCA in the new framework. Both share common goals of reducing vulnerability and building resilience but, historically, each has tended to work within its own institutional home and specialist community of practice. As a result, work programs are developed separately and dialogues are held in parallel. Many countries, recognizing the inherent synergies between these fields, have taken steps to remove the barriers to cooperation and coordination.

The second thread in this round encourages you to share experiences in your country, region or organization in this regard by addressing the following question:

What progress has your country made in linking disaster risk reduction with climate
change adaption, in policy, institutional dialogue and partnership and programming?

Looking forward to a robust discussion in this regard,
