Transcript Disasters and Climate Change in UNDAF

Disasters and Climate
Change in UNDAF
• Climate change effects occurrence of natural hazards and
vulnerability to disasters (IPCC)
• Early impacts of climate change in developing countries increase in extreme climate events
• Global agenda and emerging funds driven by climate
change - national concerns grounded in disaster events
and climate variability

How is Climate Change Impact
Assessed?
•
Information is available on projections of
changes due to global warming
•
Sensitivity analysis to identify most
immediate climate change impacts

Increasing hazard risk
Stronger winds
Coastal marine hazards
by an order of magnitude?
Intensity
Tropical cyclones
Hazards
Heavy rainfall / Floods
Heatwaves

Disaster risk reduction contribution to
adaptation in UNDAF
1. Empirical evidence of risk and scale of
need
2. Practical measures to reduce risk
related to climatic hazards

Disaster risk reduction contribution to
adaptation in UNDAF (continued)
3. Incorporates risk related to climatic
hazards considerations in development
4. Measures progress in efforts to reduce
risk related to climatic hazards
