Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction / Climate Change in Development

1. Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation Swiss Embassy Dhaka Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction / Climate Change in Development Matthias Anderegg – SDC Regional DRR Coordinator South-Asia – Nov 2012 • Presentation - 2: • Introduction to the SDC tool and guidance “CEDRIG” • Climate, Environment and DRR Integration • Reference documents • The CEDRIG Handbook

2. Disaster Risk Reduction – some history since 1990 – frameworks, tools • 1990‘s: International Decade for Natural Disaster Risk Reduction •  1995 Kobe Earthquake • 1999: Creation of UNISDR (International Strategy for Disaster Reduction •  2004 Asian Earthquake and Tsunami • Interlink to: • 2000: International Development Goals • The Millenium Development Goals 2000 – 2015… the post-2015 debate • 2005 : The 10-year plan to make the world safer from natural hazards • Hyogo Framework for Action 2005 – 2015 • 2007: SDC Guidelines on DRR • Disaster Risk Reduction: an important dimension of sustainable development • 2009: OECD Policy Guidance for Integrating CCA into Development Co-operation • Climate Change Adaptation: a critical development issue • 2012: SDC CEDRIG – Climate, Environment and DRR Integration Guidance •  Systematic integration of DRR /CCA into Development

3. 2007: SDC Guidelines on DRR Disaster Risk Reduction: an important dimension of sustainable development Purpose of the SDC DRR Guidelines 2007: Show how SDC contributes to global efforts to substantially reduce the disaster losses in lives and social, economic and environmental assets of communities and countries by: 1) reaffirming that disaster risk reduction is a fundamental dimension of safe life and livelihood and sustainable development, 2) taking into consideration that many SDC activities – albeit labeled differently – implicitly contribute to disaster risk reduction, 3) providing guidelines on how to cope systematically with disaster risks emanating from natural hazards, 4) integrating disaster risk reduction in existing SDC planning and operational processes (mainstreaming).

4. OECD Policy Guidance: Integrating CCA into Development Co-operation • ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT • 2009: OECD Policy Guidance for Integrating CCA into Development Co-operation • Climate Change Adaptation: a critical development issue • The objectives of this policy guidance are to: • Recognize implications of climate change on development • enhance knowledge; explain methodology • promote understanding for needed measures (adaptation) • Identify appropriate approaches •  integrate climate adaptation into development policies • - at national, sectoral and project levels and • - in urban and rural contexts • develop and use tools and learn from examples • Identify practical ways to support partners • reduce vulnerability to climate-variability and climate-change The OECD Guidance motivated SDC to combine the DRR / CCA tool !  SDC CEDRIG – Climate, Environment and DRR Integration Guidance

5. SDC CEDRIG – Climate, Environment and DRR Integration Guidance • Structure of CEDRIG: • Part I = Aim, Concept and Support Material of CEDRIG • Motivation and scope • Organisational and procedural issues • Supporting materials • Part II = The CEDRIG Handbook • Module 1: Risk and Impact Screening • Module 2: Detailed Assessment at Strategic and Programmatic Level • Module 3: Detailed Assessment at Project Level • Note: • The handbook is self-explanatory • It is hands-on guidance

6. SDC CEDRIG – Part I – Aim, Concept and Scope • Systematic integral integration of reflections related to risks • Enhance overall resilience of systems and communities • A screening tool for risk management • Consideration of Risk Perspective and Impact Perspective • Three different risk perspectives: • Climate, Environmental and Disaster Risks • Two different impact perspectives • Climate Change Mitigation, Environmental Impact Mitigation • CEDRIG is a support tool for risk identification related to: • Climate Change • Environmental Degradation • Tectonic Activities • Impacts on GHG emissions and / or the environment

7. CEDRIG Part I – Risk perspective Disaster risks and its influencing factors Risk perspective - combination of different factors

8. CEDRIG Part I – Overlaps CCA / adaptation to degraded environment The CC and Environmental Community and the DRR Community must work together !

9. CEDRIG Part I – Integrating Climate Change and DRR into Development Left side: Focus on vulnerability and overlaps with traditional development practices Right side: Target the climate change impacts outside the realm of development

10. CEDRIG Part I – Key terms for the impact perspective • The „lion‘s share of GHG emissions are produced in developedcountries • However, reducing them should not be neglected in developing countries • Also activities for development or humanitarian aid can lead to increased GHG… • Development Cooperation •  Optimize projects to reduce possible negative environmental impacts

11. CEDRIG Part I – Scope Risk Perspektive and Impact Perspective  both must be considered in Humanitarian Aid so as in Development

12. CEDRIG Part I – Principles • Modular approach and flexibility • Module1 = Risk and Impact Screening • If necessary (i.e. if the result of Module 1 shows evidence): • Module 2 = Detailed Assessment at Strategic and Programmatic Level •  Module 3 = Detailed Assessment at Project Level

13. CEDRIG Part I – Main Elements of CEDRIG • Module 1 – Risk and Impact Screening • First filter to assess risk relevance emanating from: • CC, environmental degradation, and/or tectonic hazard; • or if there is impact on GHG emissions and/or the environment • Module 2 – Risk Assessment Lens at Strategic and Programmatic Level • Only to be applied if Module 1 shows evidence • Systematic integration of adaptation to CC and to degradated environment • Module 3 – Detailed Assessment at Project Level • Applied if possible significant risks from disasters or impacts identified in Module 1 • Risks and impacts, identification of adaptation, risk reduction options, mitigation options
