Handbook for integrating climate change in development cooperation
Nov. 1, 2011
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) wants to systematically integrate climate change issues and disaster risk reduction into its development strategies, programmes and projects. To address this, INFRAS developed a handbook for «The Climate and DRR Check». The Climate and DRR Check is an approach to support SDC staff and their project partners in analysing existing and planned strategies, programmes and projects with respect to their exposure and influence on climate change and natural disasters and to integrate measures to improve their resilience. INFRAS assisted in the process of testing the Handbook in Bolivia in 2010. A further outreach event is scheduled for April 2011 in Burkina Faso in order to disseminate the handbook among SDC staff members and partners working in Africa.
