Implementing Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment
Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment Coaching and Mentoring (C/M) module
TOOLKIT / TOOLS / CITY RESILIENCE / Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment
The Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) process has two parts: climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) and disaster risk assessment (DRA). Both parts analyze the capacities and vulnerabilities of elements that are exposed to various hazards, which may negatively behave due to changes in climatic drivers such as temperature and precipitation.
What is CDRA?
The Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) process has two parts: climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) and disaster risk assessment (DRA). Both parts analyze the capacities and vulnerabilities of elements that are exposed to various hazards, which may negatively behave due to changes in climatic drivers such as temperature and precipitation.
How will CDRA C/M benefit the Local Government Units?
CDRA Coaching and Mentoring (C/M) is a module designed to encourage and enable the participation of many stakeholders in the overall CDRA process. Through C/M, stakeholders gain an understanding of the concept of risk and take part in the identification and analysis of the risk information of their locality through a series of dialogs, workshops, and guided activities. Local universities are a key partner in the implementation of the C/M module.
The purpose of doing C/M is to broaden stakeholder participation and to increase the capacity of local government units for conducting risk assessments. Through the CDRA, the goal of the C/M module is to inform the local plans and the decision-making process of local government units so as to promote the integration and implementation of appropriate adaptation and disaster risk reduction (CCA-DRR) strategies.
Manila Observatory’s Resilience Collaboratory
The Manila Observatory (MO) Resilience Collaboratory does science-based, inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary research, collaboration, knowledge building and management, and application of scientific knowledge on risk and resilience. The Collaboratory connects the scientific research and output of the Manila Observatory with the needs of the stakeholders by creating a collaborative environment that allows science-based inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary research activities. It also focuses on the initiatives and activities that enhance science and research and multi-stakeholder engagements for climate change, disaster risk reduction, and resilience building.
The Resilience Collaboratory serves as a sandbox for transdisciplinary interns; a hub where science fellows can work and collaborate. It develops and informs policy with research results generated in the collaboratory with MO’s Science Laboratories. This also harnesses the science of MO to contribute to local and national resilience initiatives, and capacity-building programs. Finally, the Resilience Collaboratory provides technical support for the Resilient LGU Scorecard and science and technology initiatives
