The papers present the best actions needed to build capacity in DRR and adaptation, and to improve early planning of regional strategies against natural hazards.

To avoid the one-size-fits-all approach to disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, CATALYST's best Practice Papers were specifically tailored on the four most disaster-prone regions of the world – West and East Africa, Central America and the Caribbean, European Mediterranean and South and South-East Asia.
