10th EIOENT Workshop, June 14, 2016, EEA, Copenhagen (Denmark)
Break-out group 2:
Links between disaster risk reduction (DRR)
and climate change adaptation (CCA)
Sergio Castellari, Blaz Kurnik
European Environment Agency, Copenhagen
Need of synergies between CCA and DDR
• DRR does not consider always any
future changes in occurrence of
extreme events,
• DRR includes also other not climate
related hazards,
• CCA addresses climate change and
changes in extreme events, but
focuses mainly on prevention and
protection, while DRR focuses on
full cycle.
• Risk assessments are common for
both CCA and DRR.
• At the present integration seems
working only for floods.
• Local level policies and practices?
Benefits of integration
CCA and DRR provide a range
of complementary approaches
for managing risks of climate
and weather extremes
Two sides of the
same coin
DRR: CCA:
RISK RISK
New 2017 EEA CCA/DRR report
“Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in
Europe - Synergies for the knowledge base and policies”
to be published in June/July 2017
• Main responsibles:
o EEA: Sergio Castellari, Blaz Kurnik, Andre Jol
o ETC/CCA. Jaroslav Mysiak, Rob Swart, Reimund
Schwarze, Patrick Pringle, Paul van der Linden
o ETC/ICM: Ad Jeuken, Henk Wolters
Main objectives
• To facilitate a better awareness and communication
• To explore potential synergies between DRR and CCA –
(knowledge base, policy developments and
implementation)
• To describe trends and projections of selected
extremes
• To describe economical losses from weather and
climate related disasters.
• To address case studies of successful solution and good
practices
Draft outline
Chapter 2: Overview of the policies and practices
Chapter 3: Assessment of weather and climate related extreme
events (hazards) in Europe (based on previous EEA reports)
Chapter 4: Impacts and risks of hazards on different sectors in
Europe (human health, ecosystems, and socio-economic sectors)
Chapter 5: Filling the gaps - successful cases and solutions
Feb. – March 2016: EIONET survey (3 questions)
1. How is CCA currently integrated in the existing national and subnational
DRR plans, national risk assessments and relevant actions in your country
(e.g. flood management, forest fire protection, drought management, heat
waves planning and storm emergency planning)?
2. What are in your opinion examples of good practices of integration and/or
synergy of CCA and DRR in your country? Both national and subnational
examples (links and references) of organizational and implementation
practices are welcome.
3. What specific topics could the EEA 2017 CCA/DRR report cover in order to
support the respective activities at national or subnational level in your
country?
EIONET survey: responses
1)
2)
3)
4)
Reply by 22 EEA member states (out of 33).
Involvement of different institutions from the respective country.
Many countries sent additional material, like examples and case studies
Seven counties have also participated at expert meeting 11-13 April.
EIONET survey: preliminary results
State
• DRR and hazard risk assessment and management are integrated into National
Climate Adaptation Strategies.
• Many countries have been developing also early warning systems, which include
climate and weather related events.
• CCA and DRR communities collaborate and cooperate at different levels, for example
across agencies, sectors and administrative borders, and also include the partnerships
(and networks and fora) with private sector entities, civil society and academia.
• Floods and heat waves risk management often referred to as best practice examples.
Wind storms in northern countries and forest fires and droughts in Mediterranean
region.
Suggestions (more than 50 suggestions)
• to include examples (case studies) from countries and outcomes from the past or
ongoing (international) research and innovation projects.
• to identify of the most beneficial and effective solutions (for both DRR and CCA).
• To include examples of measures assessed against their respective cost-benefits ratio.
11 - 13 April 2016: Expert Workshop
11 - 13 April 2016: Expert Workshop “Climate change
adaptation and disaster risk reduction - policies and
practices - at EU and national level”
• Examine main EU, national, and sub-national policies on CCA and DRR,
• Explore approaches and good practices in linking CCA and DRR at national
and subnational level,
• Explore the similarities and differences across countries and sectors,
• Facilitate learning and knowledge sharing, as well as identify major
challenges in establishing effective linkages between CCA and DRR at
national and sub-national level.
Questions
Question 1: CCA/DRR Integration
• Which is the added value to have efficient integration of CCA and DRR?
• Such as existing national and subnational DRR plans/actions (e.g. flood
management, forest fire protection, drought management, heat waves planning and
storm emergency planning)?
Question 2: Climate-ADAPT and DRMKC
• How do you see the role of Climate-ADAPT platform for enhancing the knowledge
base, policy and practises on CCA/DRR integration?
• How do you the relation of Climate-ADAPT to the recent DRMKC initiative
(http://drmkc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/)?
Question 4: Views on new EEA 2017 CCA/DRR report
• What specific topics could the EEA 2017 CCA/DRR report cover in order to support
the respective activities at national or subnational level in your country?
DRMKC: Enhancing the Knowledge base to support Disaster Risk Management
• The DRMKC (DRM Knowledge Center) is a new EC
initiative on better knowledge and competence
management for sounder EU policy making.
• It is managed from JRC.
