The Pacific risk knowledge series summary report
This report summarizes four Pacific Risk Knowledge Series events that highlighted how detailed risk information can form the foundation of disaster risk management, guide climate adaptation, and strengthen resilience in the region. The report is structured to first demonstrate the recognized value of risk information, then to explore examples and challenges in collaboration and communication around risk information.
Pulling together key recommendations from the events, it shows the importance of improving baseline data, engaging communities, and developing a contextualized understanding of risk in climate-vulnerable Pacific countries. Outlining how exposure to hazards such as cyclones is expected to increase as weather extremes intensify, it explains how sharing climate and disaster risk knowledge can help reduce the impacts of events on infrastructure, lives, and livelihoods.
