Dr Anil K Gupta Head – Div. of Environment, CC & DRM NIDM New Delhi Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Management Disaster Management Paradigm shift from Response & Relief to Mitigation and Preparedness Centric Loss of Life – Reduced substantially but economic & other “non-economic” losses and damages continue to increase Legal and institutional mechanisms for disaster Management, Plans and Programmes Key Challenges Multi - Hazard Vulnerability Assessment at District / Sub-district levels Understanding of changing risk scenarios with anthropogenic/developmental and environmental changes vis a vis climatic uncertainities Disaster Management Plans/Strategies Mainstreaming at Sectoral levels (within Government, Business and Community) Scientific and Systematic Approach to Post-disaster Assessments Valuation of Non-economic impacts, i.e. environmental, systematic & social impacts of disasters New Policy Paradigm Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-30) Paris Climate Agreement (2015-30) Sustainable Development Goals (2015-30) Transition from Hyogo Framework to SFDRR Priority 4 of HFA (i.e. Addressing Underlying Factors of Risk) became Priority 1 in SFDRR ‘Understanding Disaster Risk’ Evidence Based and Indicator Based Assessments Environment, Climate & Disasters Stockhom 1972 Rio Summit 1992 WSSD 2002 (Rio+10) UNFCCC (UNEP+WMO) 4th AR (2007) SREX Report 2012 (Asia) Paris Climate Agreement 2015 1.5 Degree Report (2018) 4x4 Assessment Report (India) Climate change aggravates hazards CC increases vulnerability (land, people, infrastructure) Threefold relations: Environmental changes as driver of disaster risk Disasters cause damage / losses to environment (which further aggravate disaster risk) Environment management reduce disaster risk & vulnerability Environment, climate-change and disasters Emerging Issues Environmental change as risk driver - (i) climate change, (ii) land-use & landscape, (iii) natural resource degradation Vulnerabilities – governed by (i) environmental (ii) technological and (iii) behavioural factors Addressing underlying causes of vulnerability (HFA Priority 4) Understanding Disaster Risk (SFDRR Priority 1) The 2nd Paradigm Shift Disaster Management (DM) was relief centric before 1991 IDNDR 1991-99 (Focused on “Natural” Disasters… no attention on underlying causes) New Paradigm since HFA 2005-15 (Priority 4) Approach of inter-linking CCA –DRR “Climate Resilience” - central to DRR “Ecosystem – Landscapes & Disasters” “Pathways & Tools of Mainstreaming DRR” Turning point ….Sendai Framework 2015-30 (Priority 1) Approaches Previously …….Response & Relief Centric SFDRR highlights Resilience Ecosystem Based Solutions Integrating CCA Public Health Specific goals for DRR – Monitoring Four Priorities Understand disaster risk Strengthen disaster risk governance Invest in DRR Enhance disaster preparedness Emphasis on Recovery Operational Needs Translating CCA—DRR Convergence to National / sub-national and local DRR /Development frameworks
