“Disaster Risk Reduction through Climate Change Adaptation”

Necessity

• Urgent need for international cooperation system considering emerging disaster risk due to climate change

• Need to propose Asia's initiatives for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction considering vulnerabilities in our region

• Need to establish tangible and practical strategies for disaster risk reduction in our region to share information and technologies for climate change adaptation

9/19

Building CCA & DRR awareness and capacity including education and Building CCA & DRR awareness and capacity including education and trainingtraining

1


Review and analyze past activities and review what the challenges, good practices (to be done before the conference)

Review what we have on DRR capacity building for use in CCA

Focus on duty bearers at all levels including regional, national, local, communities

Policy, enabling environment, legal and institutional issues Include social exclusion and gender equality issues Clarify stakeholders (government including sectors other than

DRR, private sector, civil society, etc.) Clarify modality (e.g. use sub-regional IGOs such as ASEAN,

SAARC, SOPAC) How to deal with national issues such as NAPA, NAP, SNAP

separation

Focus on implementation and barrier removal Focus on answering key questions like (where is resources coming

from, who to work with, how to scale up CBDRM, etc.?) Accessible and understandable climate information Education and training

10/19

Building CCA & DRR awareness and capacity including education and training

⇒ Raising awareness and building capacity for DRR & CCA

1


<Background> Realizing our societies' increased vulnerability and exposure to

climate change, it is necessary to improve our existing practices and institutional tools, to increase public awareness, and to strengthen land constitution.

<New Issues proposed by NEMA Korea> Improve disaster management system and institutional foundation, Strengthen land constitution based on vulnerability analysis in

local and national level, Re-establish rational standard and design criteria of structural and

non-structural measures, and Advocate training and education for public awareness and capacity

building

11/19

Developing and sharing sound practices and lessons learned in climate risk Developing and sharing sound practices and lessons learned in climate risk managementmanagement

2


Review best practices and barriers and transferability analysis (to be done before Conference)

Focus on reducing vulnerability focusing on good and sound practice, including land use planning, post disaster recovery, standards, CBDRM, etc.

Consider mal-development considerations (created new risks) Regional information sharing Consideration of past and present issues for climate effects Include soft technologies including ecosystem based adaptation,

planning and processes Modality for sharing including media, existing and emerging

platforms, networks, databases, etc.

12/19

Developing and sharing sound practices and lessons learned in climate risk management⇒ Developing and sharing information, technology, sound practices, and lessons learned in climate & disaster risk management

2


<Background> Since feasible methods for climate change adaptation are not

widely available, it is desired to share techniques, information, good practices reviewing their transferability and to find best ways to promote them.

<New Issues proposed by NEMA Korea> Share current status of disaster management system and its

operation with specific disaster type, Share current local and regional early warning systems using ICT, Develop applicable risk analysis system and review the

applicability in other Countries, Develop sound practices in land-use planning and improved

recovery system, etc., and Share satellite imagery and other RS information in disaster

management

13/19

Promoting integration of CCA & DRR into development for Resilient “Green Promoting integration of CCA & DRR into development for Resilient “Green Growth”Growth”

33


Focus on either productive sectors, climate sensitive sectors, GAR core issues (urban governance, rural livelihoods, ecosystems decline), or adaptation priority issues (livelihoods, ecosystems, migration, etc)

Focus on development processes (UNDAF, NAPAs, urban planning, etc.), both national and sectoral processes

Adapt DRR in accordance to the changing climate (Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation, DRRA)

Focus more on climate risk management Hard technologies, including application of new technologies for

the purpose of climate risk management (e.g., space technology, ICT, nanotechnology, green technologies, etc.)

Include soft technologies like indigenous technologies, ecosystem based adaptation approaches

Tools and methods like EIA

14/19

Promoting integration of CCA & DRR into development for resilient “green growth”

⇒ Promoting “Green Growth” with CCA & DRR

33


<Background> Observing disaster management paradigm has shifted from

reactive to proactive and the concept of monetary has shifted from simple cost to future investment, it is time to reemphasize the urgency of DRR through CCA to secure sustainable development.

<New Issues proposed by NEMA Korea> Advocate DRR as the first priority in development and economic

growth, Establish land- and economic-development strategies considering

sustainable development relies on disaster-resilient society (eg. Disaster Impact Analysis) Prioritize adaptation issues based on Global Assessment Report, Promote green growth technologies and programs for DRR

through CCA in conjunction with UNDAF and NAPA, and Link land-use planning and improved recovery to Green Growth.
