- Abstract
- In 2013, following a grant agreement signed between UNISDR and the Indian Ocean Commission, a joint UNISDR/ISLANDS project was started entitled “Strengthening Capacities for Unified Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction Through the Facilitation of Risk Transfer and Financing Mechanisms”. It was implemented within the “ISLANDS Programme for Financial Protection against Climatic and Natural Disasters”. It also forms a part of UNISDR’s global project for around 30 countries: “Building Capacities for Increased Public Investment in Integrated Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction: 2012-2015” financed by the European Union. Four island countries in the Indian Ocean as well as the Government of Zanzibar participated in the ISLANDS programme composed of three components: the establishment of reliable disaster loss database (Component 1), risk evaluation and probabilistic risk assessment profiles (Component 2) and incorporation of risk management into public investment planning (Component 3). Economic analysis and policy reviews were developed as a package. This report aims to summarize all activities implemented in the project with a focus on public investment planning (Component 3) while a technical report on Components 1 and 2 is also available.
