Cost benefit analysis for community based climate and disaster risk management: synthesis report
The aim of this report is to present a brief synthesis that takes stock of the significant efforts on Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of community based disaster risk management and climate change adaptation (CBDRM/CCA) to date, reflecting not only on findings, methodological approaches and lessons learned, but also addressing the implications for where and when CBA may be usefully applied at a community level, and pointing to gaps and methodological constraints that could usefully be addressed going forward.
This report is intended as a first step towards a broader and more in-depth discussion around the cost effectiveness of various resilience and adaptation strategies, and the applicability and usefulness of cost benefit analysis (CBA) at a community level to help inform decision-making by NGOs, government and donors alike. It is intended as a high level review of recent work -- it is not within the scope to conduct a detailed review or in-depth analysis. However, it is hoped that this report will act as a stepping stone for further development and discussion.
