Development towards Resilience

•capacity to absorb stress or destructive forces through resistance or adaptation•capacity to manage, or maintain certain basic functions and structures, during disastrous events•capacity to recover or ‘bounce back’ after an event

Development & DRR

1. Prioritize adaptation efforts in communities.

2. Build projected climate change related trends in today’s risk and vulnerability assessment based on current climate variability.

3. Fully integrate adaptation into longerterm national and local sustainable development and poverty reduction strategies.

4. Prioritize the strengthening of existing capacities – among local authorities, civil society organizations, and the private sector.

5. Develop robust resource mobilisation mechanisms for adaptation that ensure the flow of both financial and technical support to local actors.

6. Leverage the opportunities in disaster prevention and response, through improved early warning systems, contingency planning and integrated response, to promote effective community-based adaptation and risk reduction.
