Asia Regional Climate Risk Management Workshop

Managing Risk of a Changing Climate to Support Development

23-26 April 2007
Hotel Park Village
Kathmandu, Nepal

UNDP’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR), the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) have framed a strategic approach to climate Risk Management (CRM). This partnership seeks to identify anticipatory strategies for managing both short term climate variability and longer term climate change impacts across regions. In view of the objectives of this strategic partnership, the Regional Workshop will commence the development and implementation of a joint portfolio of CRM projects for Asia. The workshop will bring together staff from UNDP/GEF, BCPR, IRI, eight UNDP Country Office environment and disaster risk management units, and relevant government line agencies along with technical specialists from the region. The workshop hopes to achieve an Asiawide partnership for adopting a CRM approach which will be instructive to other regions adopting an integrated adaptation approach in the near future.
