Towards the development and implementation of effective policies for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
This policy brief indicates the key findings and recommendations for policy making in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation based on the results of the KNOW-4-DRR project, funded through the EU 7th Framework Programme. Key findings relate to i) understanding and addressing the gaps between knowledge and the implementation of policies; ii) mechanisms and processes for overcoming barriers to sharing and implementing knowledge; and iii) framing a knowledge management system, achieved through interactive workshops and living labs as test environments for tools and methodologies.
