Risk probability impact indicators9/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Together these elements will support the validation and calibration of disaster risk/hazard impact models and the establishment of triggers for forecast-based financing and forecast-based action. The impacts of climate change - and other factors in observed and future disaster riskĮxtensive risks - and how to reduce them Specifically, the databank will enhance the understanding The partnership is part of a broader information management system and is made publicly available via the IFRC Go Platform. The Global Crisis Databank’s aim is to leverage observational data about past hazard events and their impacts to help inform preparedness, anticipatory action and risk management. The lack of a centralized database and harmonized approaches to capture information on hazard, impact and response is inhibiting our ability to learn more from these events and anticipate and prepare for future crises. identification and assessment of the effectiveness and suitability of different risk-reducing options, including relocation as a last resortĬomplementing the Desinventar platform, UNDRR is collaborating with the IFRC and other partners on the development of a Global Crisis Databank.comparisons between the risk levels of the communities’ current locations and potential relocation sites.identification of suitable relocation sites.comparisons of the communities’ current and anticipated risks levels due to climate change. ![]() More specifically, the CRVAF should enable: The Comprehensive Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Framework (CRVAF) is an integral part of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and will be used as a tool to identify and assess climate hazards, including their likelihood and impact as well as the exposure and vulnerability of at-risk communities, and to support decision-making on adaptation options, including the feasibility of planned relocations. UNDRR has supported the Fiji Government by providing Technical and advisory services to Ministry of Economy on Climate Resilience and Vulnerability Assessment Framework (CRVAF) to inform the relocation of up 15 vulnerable communities, including community hazard surveys, GIS/remote sensing. This work contributes to the achievement of the Sendai Priority Actions and builds on key recommendations and lessons learned set out in UNDRR’s Global Assessment Reports and related policy guidance. Influencing agenda setters and financing systems Providing technical support and developing innovative tools Strengthening access, analysis, and visualization of risk dataĬatalysing new knowledge for risk-informed Development and Humanitarian Action UNDRR aims to help its partners, through initiatives such as the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF), to enhance their understanding of the changing nature of risk and to scale up and accelerate solutions for resilience. The shifting nature of risk requires a transition from treating hazards in isolation to recognizing the systemic nature of risk, where shocks often cascade and compound in complex ways with broad social, fiscal, economic and environmental implications.ĭisaster risk solutions must be better integrated across multiple sectors, taking explicit account of interdependencies, co-benefits, and trade-offs as countries and communities confront the complexities of our climate future. Climate change, population growth, unsustainable consumption, biodiversity loss, ecological degradation, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, political instability and conflict, financial instability and inequality, are driving risk and increasing vulnerability in development and humanitarian contexts across the world.
