At the Association for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation (DRRCCA), our vision is deeply rooted in a fundamental understanding: Disasters are not merely triggered by natural hazards, but by the social, economic, and political circumstances that increase our vulnerability and susceptibility to these hazards. In essence, disasters are development failures, reflecting the pressing need for change in how we shape and manage our societies
Awareness Raising
Central to our vision is the goal to enlighten society about the true nature of disasters. We aim to dispel the common misconception that disasters are solely natural phenomena, highlighting instead that they are intrinsically linked to human actions and decisions. Through our campaigns, public engagements, and knowledge-sharing platforms, we work tirelessly to foster an educated and proactive society, one that understands its role in mitigating disaster risks and climate change impacts.
Reducing Vulnerabilities
Another key aspect of our vision is the significant reduction of vulnerabilities. We work with individuals, communities, and governments to create strategies and solutions that minimize risk exposure and amplify resilience. We firmly believe that a society that is aware of its vulnerabilities is better equipped to transform them into strengths.
Sustainable Development
Our vision encompasses a future where sustainable development is not an afterthought, but a guiding principle in every decision-making process. In this sustainable future, development strategies are designed with a keen eye on their impact on disaster risks and climate change. We envision a world where development is pursued without compromising the safety, well-being, and prosperity of present and future generations.
At DRRCCA, our vision shapes our work every day. It is a call to action for everyone to play their part in creating a safer, more resilient, and sustainable world. We invite you to join us in realizing this vision. Together, we can turn the tide on disasters and climate change, turning challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth.
