Risk-Informed Development: A Strategy Tool for Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation into Development
Risk-Informed Development: A Strategy Tool for Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation into Development
October 14, 2021
This strategy tool addresses repeated calls for practical guidance on integrating both disaster and climate related risks into development, and an approach that helps overcome policy siloes and fosters joined-up implementation and localization. It is a contribution to risk-informing the 2030 Agenda and risk-proofing development investments in UNDP programme countries. The tool emphasized the importance to establish links to other types of risks, thus acknowledging the multi-dimensionality of risk. It is a joint GPN knowledge product of the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS).
