  Available online: http://star-www.giz.de/fetch/a0k0m4Lg01o0QH00aX/giz2012-0275en-disaster-risk-man [...]

This publication aims to pinpoint commonalities between disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. It describes the experience gathered from German development cooperation’s work in seven countries, which we see as a stimulus to aim for more effective and efficient interaction between the two fields and to work towards a significant reduction of risk in our partner countries by implementing risk management measures adapted to the respective conditions.
