IFPRI, 2014This food policy report reviews resilience processes, activities, and outcomes by examining a number of case studies of initiatives by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to enhance resilience capacity, and draws implications for policymakers and other stakeholders looking to strengthen resilience. It argues that resilience building relies on integrated programming, which is defined as a cross-sectoral approach with a long-term commitment to improving the three critical capacities: absorptive capacity (disaster risk management), adaptive capacity (longer-term livelihood investments), and tran ...
World Weather Open Science Conference 2014 : abstracts = Conférence scientifique publique mondiale sur la météorologie 2014: résumés
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; International Council for Science (ICSU); Environment Canada - WMO, 2014This volume of the World Weather Open Science Conference 2014 edition contains all available WWOSC 2014 submitted abstracts for: Plenary Sessions, Panel Sessions, Parallel Session presentations, Poster Session presentationsMadagascar: country case study report - How law and regulation supports disaster risk reduction
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) ; United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) - UNDP, 2014This report considers the extent to which disaster risk reduction (DRR) is mainstreamed into the disaster risk management laws and institutions in Madagascar. It identifies key laws and regulations in the area of disaster risk management (DRM), especially those applicable nationwide. It finds that these legal frameworks currently focus more on response and recovery than on prevention and DRR. Legislation also provides for DRM bodies at all levels of government administration, including at the community level, although the establishment and effective functioning of these bodies remains a challe ...Hyogo Framework for Action, post 2015: what would we like to see - Voices from the field

Stratégie de l’OMM en matière de prestation de services et plan de mise en oeuvre
Les Membres de l’OMM savent l’importance que revêt la qualité de la prestation de services liés au temps, au climat, à l’eau et à l’environnement. L’Organisation facilite la coordination internationale, fixe des normes pour les produits météorologiques et hydrologiques et guide la prestation de services. Bien que de grands progrès aient été accomplis à cet égard, les Membres ont estimé qu’il fallait uniformiser et structurer davantage l’élaboration et la fourniture des services. En conséquence, le Seizième Congrès météorologique mondial (mai–juin 2011) a approuvé la Stratégie de l’OMM en matiè ...
Стратегия ВМО в области предоставления обслуживания и план ее осуществления
Страны — члены ВМО признают важность предоставления высококачественного обслуживания в области погоды, климата, воды и окружающей среды.
