The mission of the Association for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation (DRRCCA) is to promote societal resilience achieved through sustainable development. We firmly believe in the power of conscious, sustainable progress to strengthen our collective resilience to disasters and climate change impacts.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
Our work is deeply aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030). We are committed to promoting and implementing its principles and objectives, focusing on understanding disaster risk, strengthening governance to manage disaster risk, investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience, and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and recovery.
Sustainable Development Goals
We uphold the Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030) as a guide for our efforts. By integrating these universal goals into our approach, we strive to create resilient societies where no one is left behind. Our work supports economic growth, social inclusivity, and environmental sustainability, all critical dimensions of the SDGs.
Disaster Risk Reduction Platform
We assist in the operation of the Disaster Risk Reduction Platform, an invaluable tool for sharing knowledge, promoting best practices, and driving innovative solutions in disaster risk management. By facilitating cooperation and collaboration, we hope to make strides in reducing disaster risks globally.
Strengthening Institutions and Mechanisms
A key part of our mission involves strengthening institutions, mechanisms, and capacities for disaster resilience. We provide targeted assistance to public sector institutions, enhancing their abilities to plan, manage, and recover from disaster scenarios. We also champion regional cooperation, recognizing its essential role in managing cross-border hazards.
Networking of Experts
Our mission extends to networking with disaster risk management experts, both domestically and internationally. We believe that through knowledge exchange and collaboration, we can develop more robust strategies for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
Advocating for Vulnerable Groups
We place special emphasis on the disadvantaged position of vulnerable societal groups in the event of disasters. We work tirelessly to ensure these vulnerable populations are given the necessary support and resources to prepare for and recover from disasters, reducing their risk exposure and enhancing their adaptive capacities.
