Reducing risks, saving lives
This document describes Save the Children's approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), classifying DRR and CCA work into five main categories: (i) preparedness activities, (ii) early warning activities, (iii) mitigation activities, (iv) activities to promote resilience, and (v) activities that support communities’ adaptive capacity to predicted climate change trends; and five areas of focus, including advocacy and policy, institution strengthening, and community. It then presents the role of children in disasters through country examples, and provides some recommendations to donors and governments.
