Join online dialogue with PLACARD on foresight activities in CCA & DRR
To help us improve communication and knowledge exchange between the climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) communities, we’ve opened an online dialogue:
Exploring the application and value of Foresight activities, methods and tools in DRR and CCA research, and discovering examples of good practice.
Questions
- What topics do you consider important to include in foresight activities related to DRR and CCA for their harmonisation/integration?
- How can outcomes from foresight activities, methods and tools support the identification of future research and implementation priorities in DRR and CCA?
- Can you share examples of good practices where foresight has been applied to the development of (novel) joint DRR and CCA methods and tools?

Background
The Paris Agreement at COP21 on climate change and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction were both major steps towards increasing resilience to climate-related extreme events. Long-term risk and response analyses in support of these agreements and the IPCC assessments tend to be dominated by the development and formal analysis of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). While such analyses are an important mechanism to advance analytical knowledge about future risks, they constrain creative analysis and there is a complementary role for more qualitative foresight developed by diverse experts and stakeholders to explore future risks and opportunities.
