Relationship between DRR and adaptation
Two entry points for linking DRR and adaptation
1. Transformative Change
• Acknowledge the problem that adaptation is seen as incremental not transformative
• Engage those that influence vulnerability
• Understand hazards and vulnerability as one issue
• Guidance for DRR to incorporate climate change
• “Corrective DRR”
2. Learning for better policies
• Knowledge about disaster and climate risk needs to be relevant, legitimate and credible
• Iterative, knowledge-based processes informing decision making
• Good governance• Vulnerability focus

adaptive processes, so that society can better anticipate, act and learn to build resilience in development over time.
