TRANSCRIPT
Linking CCA and DRR
1Markos
Introduction
Similarities of DRR and CCA
Differences of DRR and CCA
Need to collaboration
2Markos
Global environmental change and natural hazards not beyond our control, nor are their impacts
Sustainable development necessary to reduce vulnerability – development not always sustainable
Responding to climate change requires understanding how to manage risk: lessons from disaster risk reduction community (practitioners, experts)
Uncertainty about future change is not a limitation – most risk is caused by our exposure and sensitivity to a hazard, not the hazard itself
3Markos
Mitigation: Measures aimed at reducing
the level of emission of carbon substances
into the atmosphere
4Markos
Process of adjusting to a changing climate, through explicit and planned interventions, or spontaneously as a consequence of inherent flexibility
5Markos
Interventions, approaches and policy frameworks to avoid
or minimise hazard impacts on societies and environment,
focusing on reducing vulnerability to hazards
Expanded beyond ‘risk management’ to incorporate lessons
into planning: focus on reducing risk, rather than only on
reconstructing the previous conditions (‘disaster
accumulation’)
6Markos
Disaster risk reduction: The broad
development and application of policies,
strategies and practices to minimize
vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout
society, through prevention, mitigation and
preparedness.

Similarities
CCA is about reducing vulnerability to
climate hazards; DRR is about reducing
vulnerability to all hazards.
Note: Both emphasis on vulnerability
reduction
Both are long-term processes and are not
‘quick-fix’ approaches8Markos
Development lies at the heart of both
DRR and CCA
Both approaches have a strong emphasis
of working at community level to build
resilience

Different actors and lack of communication
Adaptation can be a response to positive changes; DRR always a response to negative events
DRR local issue, whereas climate change is a regional and global issue. This implies differences in levels of intervention, responsibility, impact and relevance
10Markos
Climate change seen as abstract, disasters seen as real. Most people cannot conceptualise climate change, but have experienced or witnessed at least one disaster
Uncertainty in climate change impacts makes understanding it difficult; imagining a disaster is easier
11Markos
Difference between emergency operations and long-term outlook of adaptation: role of humanitarian relief in disaster operations not consistent with risk and vulnerability reduction approach, nor with long-term outlook of adaptation
Disaster risk reduction uses less ‘technical’ language than climate change science and policy.
12Markos
DRR tackles the risks of geophysical
hazards (like volcanoes and
earthquakes), whereas adaptation does
not.
Adaptation also considers the long-term
adjustment to changes in mean climatic
condition, including the opportunities that
this can provide, whereas DRR is
predominantly interested in extremes.Markos 13

CCA strategies aim to reduce vulnerability
to expected impacts of climate change.
The concept of CCA is broad
CCA strategies exist across local and
global scales, from community level
responses through to local, national and
international government interventions.Markos 18
community level strategies improvements to agricultural systems such as
crop diversification or the introduction of hazard resistant crop varieties
risk assessments and associated plans the protection of natural resources early warning systems education and awareness measures and
protection of water resources
Markos 19
At the national level for least developed countries, some
countries have developed National Adaptation
Programmes of Action (NAPAs). NAPAs identify areas in which adaptation strategies are
essential in mitigating against adverse climate change effects.
Markos 20
DRR and CCA need more integrated
approach
The institutional frameworks, political
processes, funding mechanisms,
information exchange and practitioner
communities have developed
independently and remain largely separate
to date.Markos 21
There is no systematic integration of
disaster risk management and climate
change adaptation
Government departments responsible
for poverty and DRR are in some
cases aware of vulnerability to
extreme climate events, but have no
means of co-ordination Markos 22
Confusion over similarities and
differences
Concern over different approaches
Lack of clarity regarding how integration
is achieved
