Joint Platform for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Roundtable Meeting Report

Description:

The FRDP and PRP have an inclusive approach and are committed to working through a collective effort, linking climate change and disaster risk management. The FRDP and PRP also represent a risk informed approach to development guided by the principles of the Framework for Pacific Regionalism. The role of the proposed Taskforce is particularly important and will be supported by a support unit and technical working groups. The challenge is translating the FRDP into practical actions and resource mobilisation. As espoused in the FRDP inclusivity is important, however large groups can be hard to operate and the challenge ahead is how stakeholders move together for practical actions that benefit the region. The key messages are integration of the two communities of practice; and mainstreaming community based disaster risk management. On implementation it was acknowledged that no agency can do the work alone and must involve different stakeholders and their respective strengths.
