Disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the Pacific: the challenge of integration|Appendix E: Integrating participatory disaster risk reduction and climate change adapation to enhance community resilience in the Pacific: case studies from Fiji and Samoa

Integrating community based disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA)
is identified at the policy and practical level as crucial to aid effectiveness. Successful integration
reduces both duplication of efforts and confusion at the community level. This research focuses
on Pacific community based DRR and CCA initiatives, and draws upon the knowledge and insight
of key stakeholders from multiple backgrounds to develop an understanding of the current status
of DRR and CCA in the region. Additional understanding is gained through detailed case studies of
current projects in Fiji and Samoa which highlight the challenges and best practice methods used
to integrate DRR and CCA in current community based projects.
