A review of the Region's institutional and policy landscape:

This report was prepared to provide a snapshot of how disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) are undertaken and integrated, if at all, in the Asia Pacific region. It does so by taking stock of past and ongoing regional initiatives and by looking into the role of certain organizations in the implementation process. It also discusses key developments in three areas—political, policy and institutional—which are instrumental in facilitating the integration of DRR and CCA agendas in the region.

Objective:By 2015, establish climate resilient disaster risk management (DRM) systems that contribute to sustainable development at regional, national, sub-national and community levels

The roadmap aims to promote regional cooperation on disaster risk reductionthrough climate change adaptation in Asia. Taking a climate risk managementapproach, the three main themes for this road map are:

Raising Awareness and Building Capacity for DRR & CCA

Developing and Sharing Information, Technology, Sound Practices, and

Lessons Learned in Climate and Disaster Risk Management

Promoting Integration of DRR & CCA into Development for green growth

Asia Pacific Disasters Report 2010

There has long been a gap in understanding of the scale of risks and losses in a disaster-prone region where disasters have such disproportionate impacts on human development.

To address this glaring information and knowledge gap, ESCAP and UNISDR joined hands and produced for the first time, the Asia and Pacific Disaster Report 2010.
