Reducing Risks Together: Bridging Disaster Resilience and Climate Adaptation Strategies Workshop report at the European Civil Protection Forum 2024

The workshop at the European Civil Protection Forum on June 5th in Brussels explored the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA), and nature-based solutions to enhance EU Disaster Resilience Goals (DRG). Daniel Sempere-Torres, Silvia Torresan and Laura Indriliunaite, Policy Coordinator, DG ECHO - European Commission, presented on aligning DRR with climate change risk assessment and adaptation, and integrating climate risks within the MYRIAD-EU project. Participants discussed in small groups the five DRGs: anticipation, preparation, alert, response, and security, generating ideas to complement consultations in MYRIAD-EU and CLIMAAX pilot regions.
