Workshop on Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation
Washington DC, September 2010
Some terminology….
• Hazards, Exposure, Vulnerability and Risks – why
disasters are not “natural”
• Disaster Risk Management or Disaster Risk
Reduction
• Corrective Disaster Risk Management and
Prospective Disaster Risk Management
• Disaster Risk Management and Adaptation to
Climate Change

Disasters cause adverse impact on human and
economic development
Average loss of GDP : 2-15%
Average loss of employment: 2-10%
Disasters cause vicious poverty traps pushing millions
into extreme poverty each year
Incidence of poverty higher in hazard-prone areas
2-4% increase in extreme poverty due to disasters

Disasters need both short-term humanitarian and
longer term development responses.
Humanitarian relief responses meet survival needs
Build back better addresses building resilient lives and
livelihoods
Disaster risk reduction links humanitarian and
development agendas for vulnerability reduction
Increasing the coping capacity of the vulnerable in crisis
situations
Fully integrate disaster risk reduction in disaster recovery
and reconstruction

Main drivers of underlying disaster risks are also the
major development challenges.
Weak urban governance, vulnerable rural livelihoods, and declining ecosystems,
are the main drivers of disaster risks. [2009 ISDR Global Assessment Report]
Changing mean state of climate causing increased incidence of hazard
and declining resilience
There can be no sustainable development without
disaster risk reduction
Systematically integrate disaster risk reduction into sustainable
development planning in all sectors
Establish robust policy framework all levels for disaster risk reduction
planning and implementation
Fully integrate disaster risk reduction in disaster recovery and
reconstruction

The number of
projects related to
natural disasters has
risen gradually with
sharp peaks in lending
about every five years.

Commitment
Washington DC, September 2010
The Bank engaged in both
projects anticipating
foreseeable disasters in the
future (ex-ante) and projects
directly triggered by a
disaster (ex-post). The 143
disaster related ex-ante
projects represented total
commitments of US$ 10.7
billion, while the 49 ex-post
disaster related project
represent US$ 2.9 billion.
Most countries requested Bank support to prevent disasters of hydrological
origin (319 projects representing total disaster related lending of US$ 29.0
billion)


Established in 2006, as a global partnership of 25 countries and
international organizations for collective action in disaster risk
reduction and climate adaptation to extreme events
GFDRR mission is to mainstream disaster risk reduction and
climate change adaptation in country development strategies
54 countries have benefitted from this global fund, with
deepened engagement on 31 disaster prone countries
More than US$ 80M committed during 2008-09
