Abstract

This manual uses the Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management (CSDRM) approach to support disaster risk practitioners to integrate their work with development goals, specifically to:

• connect with colleagues in development and climate change adaptation by creating a shared ‘language’ of resilience
• assess existing (or develop new) organisations, policies or programmes and build partner networks to fill capacity gaps
• learn lessons and understand what ‘climate smart’ looks like in different contexts (such as conflict affected areas)
• use climate smart indicators and follow integration pathways that deepen existing ways of working
• empower affected communities to learn and reflect by including them in discussions about their concerns, vulnerabilities and risks
