Saving our world: Minno’s guide to climate challenges

This storybook was developed by Pathfinder’s Advancing the Leadership of Women and Girls Towards Better Health and Climate Change Resilience program, which centers women as change agents in low-resource communities to develop the tools, knowledge, networks, and resources they need to ensure reliable access to quality health services, build foundations for economic growth, and strengthen their communities and health systems so they are resilient to future shocks.

Disaster risk management is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, reducing, and managing the risks associated with disasters. It involves a series of coordinated actions and strategies aimed at enhancing the resilience of individuals, communities, and societies to natural hazards and other adverse events. In a school-based context, disaster risk management involves preparing students, teachers, and staff to anticipate, respond to, and recover from disasters effectively. It is crucial to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone in the community. School-based disaster risk management revolves around four key components: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
