Description:
This project seeks to reduce climate and disaster risk in Latin America and the Caribbean through the accelerated implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, ensuring that it incorporates a climate-smart, gender-responsive approach to foster greener, more sustainable, and equitable communities. It also seeks to improve climate-smart disaster prevention by reducing existing climate and disaster risks and avoiding generating new and emerging risks. Project activities include: (1) creating conditions to strengthen gender equality and women’s empowerment in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction processes throughout the region; and (2) strengthening the understanding of disaster risks, including vulnerability, exposure, a lack of coping capacity. This allows for more comprehensive, climate-smart and risk-informed decision-making at the individual, household, community, national, and regional levels.
