CRM is a holistic approach to managing the risks associated with both climatic and non-climatic hazards across varied time scales and levels. It seeks to build long-term resilience among countries and communities in vulnerable conditions, considering the full spectrum of extreme and slow-onset events, as well as their resulting impacts.
CRM involves fostering active collaboration among government institutions, non-state actors and other stakeholders to enhance and foster coherence and synergies between climate action, efforts to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, and a wide spectrum of DRR measures. In this context, the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) under the Paris Agreement provides a shared direction for strengthening adaptive capacity, resilience and risk reduction, reinforcing the need for integrated approaches across sectors and systems.
The effectiveness of the CRM approach relies on these elements being adequately integrated into planning, implementation and financing frameworks across and within sectors and systems…
