New policy brief calls for strengthening connections between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation to support Caribbean SIDS

A new policy brief from the Waterloo Climate Institute, led by Lowine Hill and Prof. Simron Singh, stresses the need to approach climate-related risks in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) through a risk governance lens that recognises the interconnected nature of social, ecological and economic systems. The brief highlights the importance of strengthening coherence, coordination and learning between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA).
