This strategy tool addresses repeated calls for practical guidance on integrating both disaster and climate related risks into development, and an approach that helps overcome policy siloes and fosters joined-up implementation and localization. It is a contribution to risk-informing the 2030 Agenda and risk-proofing development investments in United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) countries. The tool emphasizes the importance to establish links to other types of risks, thus acknowledging the multi-dimensionality of risk. It is a joint knowledge product of the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS).
