Climate emergencies can have far-reaching effects, often devastating people’s ability to access food, clean water, shelter, and more.
Disaster risk reduction entails strengthening the ability of a community to anticipate and deal with shocks and stresses caused by the climate emergency.
This practice requires systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters, including reducing a community’s exposure to hazards and the vulnerability of its people and property, diversifying how land, water, and ecosystems are managed, and improving community preparedness for adverse events. As the climate emergency and ecosystem degradation worsen, approaches to disaster risk reduction must evolve.
Over the years, CARE International has developed new approaches, such as Integrated Risk Management, which is an enhanced, holistic approach to increase community resilience by integrating disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and ecosystem management and restoration.
