SDC Global Programme Climate Change (GPCC) strategic framework 2014–2017
This framework presents climate change as a phenomenon interlinked with many sectors, particularly disaster risk reduction (DRR), water, energy, and food security, as well as sustainable natural resource management, which calls for two complementary approaches in order to be tackled: 1) the need to address the root causes through climate change mitigation (CCM) measures and 2) the need to cope with present and future climate impacts through DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA) measures.
