Thought Leadership Course – Synergizing Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation

In this thought leadership module, developed in partnership with the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), you will explore the fundamental aspects of harnessing Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) synergies and the lessons learnt by those who are at the forefront of comprehensive disaster and climate risk management.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should:  

- Have a clear understanding of the synergies between DRR and CCA
- Be able to define integration between DRR and CCA 
- Identify good practices on DRR-CCA integration and implementation 
- Facilitate further changes in attitudes and behaviours towards the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

The module is targeted at decision-makers and -shapers, and disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation focal points, who are directly involved in developing national Disaster Risk Reduction strategies and National Adaptation Plans at the local, subnational, national, regional, and international levels.
