First Seminar on Linkages between Disaster Risk Reduction & Climate Change Adaptation, 31 March 2010, Bangkok, Thailand
The Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Platform for Asia (Adaptation Knowledge Platform) held the first of a series of bi-monthly Knowledge Sharing & Learning Seminars on 31 March 2010 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The seminar provided an informal setting that enabled over seventy adaptation, development and environment practitioners, representatives of national, regional and international organizations from 38 organizations based in Bangkok, to meet, network, share and learn from discussions and debates.
The discussions were facilitated by Dr. Lisa Schipper, Stockholm Environment Institute, Asia Centre and Dr. Jerry Velasquez, UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, Bangkok.
Ensuing deliberations with active participation from the floor focused on four guided questions:
- What is the difference between CCA and DRR?
- Adaptation and DRR: two distinct communities?
- What are the arguments for stronger linkages?
- What is the way forward? How do we organize ourselves?
