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, subnational and community levels
The roadmap aims to promote regional
cooperation on disaster risk reduction
through climate change adaptation in
Asia. Taking a climate risk management
approach, 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
 MOU

Risk Reduction and Management Council
(NDRRMC) and the Climate Change


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.
