2 Why CCA& DRR needs to be incorporated into National & Sectoral Development Planning processes? o o o o o o o o Climate change & Disasters have an enormous impact on development Disasters and climate change impacts may have a significant affects on various sectors of development Agriculture, Urban, Rural Housing settlements, Health & Education Water Road infrastructure Local Government Power & Energy Environment The scare resources that are programmed for development are often diverted for relief and rehabilitation efforts. To minimize losses & damages due to disasters

29 Mainstreaming DRR into Sectoral planning processes (Coastal Management & Urban Development)
30 Mainstreaming DRR & CCA into Agricultural Sector Developed practitioners' guide book on best agricultural practices for floods and drought supported to conduct two researches to identify paddy varieties to resist with high soil salinity and flood conditions Mitigating drought risk of the farmers in Kindilliya (a village in the dry zone) by rehabilitating an abandoned tank Rehabilitation of cascading small tank system in the dry zone The overall objectives of the interventions in agriculture are to share the best practices and knowledge gained through scientific researches on DRR & CCA in Agriculture among most vulnerable farmer groups. Key Outcomes: Sharing indigenous knowledge and develop capacities of the communities and government agricultural institutes to reduce Disaster and Climate Risks. Make awareness in the vulnerable farmer groups on best adaptation methods not only based on historical data but also considering future predictions on climate change The projects supported by UNDP
31 Mainstreaming DRR & CCA into Agricultural Sector Rehabilitation of irrigation systems Drought resistant paddy varieties Saline resistant paddy varieties The projects supported by UNDP
32 Mainstreaming DRR into Education Objective is to improve awareness of school children on the subject Key Outcomes: Develop educational materials and programmes on Disaster Risk Management Finalize the school supplementary books on disasters (Books on Landslides, Floods, Cyclones, Drought, Lightning, First Aid, Tsunami, Coastal Hazards, Earthquakes, Human Induced Disasters) Develop the 2 nd Volume of the book Landslide Risk Reduction Develop Disaster Snake and Ladder Games Develop the computer version of the Disaster Snake and Ladder Games Print the booklet on Care of Children Affected by Disasters Develop and print a poster on Prevention from Lightning The projects supported by UNDP
33 Mainstreaming DRR into Road Sector Application of Disaster Impact Assessment (DIA) in Road Development Sector Background: Road network throughout the country is one key sector of development priorities in Sri Lanka Road sector associated disasters are inevitable with the road development / improvements Impacts of disasters on roads network results high costs and reduce the sustainability and safety of the road network project supported by JICA
34 Mainstreaming DRR into Road Sector Objective is to incorporate DRR into road sector development projects by developing disaster impact assessment (DIA) mechanism within the sector Checklist approach were used to assess, Project designs, Constructions and Operational steps Key Outcomes: Road sector Development projects adopt self evaluation system to reduce the impact of disasters Development projects assured safe designs, constructions and operations of roads project supported by JICA
35 Link between Disasters & Development Development Realm Development can Increase Vulnerability Development can reduce vulnerability Disasters can set back Development Disaster can provide development opportunities Disaster Realm
36 Strategies available at present to incorporate DRR in the development projects Use Integrated Strategic Environment Assessment recommendation in future development Assess disaster impacts of future projects with a view to mitigate Use of hazard zonation maps developed at present for identified hazards Incorporate hazard maps of urban areas in preparing Urban Development Plans. Awareness programme for public and govt to educate on the importance of mainstreaming DRR
37 Issues Linking Disasters with Sustainable Development DRR requirement falls into gaps between donor s humanitarian and development wings Assumption that poverty focused development will automatically reduce disasters Lack of analysis on whether DRR pays Incentives given for Disaster Risk Reduction does not guarantee short term rewards, which donors and political authorities expect
38 Major Challenges Disaster Risk Reduction is not adequately considered as a priority in Development Planning processes Inadequate enforcement and authoritative powers to implement and monitor disaster preparedness and mitigation measures Lack of technical and legal framework to integrate DRR into national & sect oral planning
39 Holistic approach to mainstream DRR & CCA o o o o o o o o o o Incorporate DRR & CCA into legal framework of the national, provincial and local government of the country Incorporate DRR & CAA into DM policy Develop regulations to enforce DRR & CCA all levels Develop integrated planning guidelines to mainstream DRR & CCA issues Incorporate DRR & CCA into policies of key sectors such as Agriculture, Urban, Rural Housing settlements, Health & Education Water & Sanitation Road infrastructure Local Government Power & Energy Environment Tourism And other key economic sectors
40 Holistic approach to mainstream DRR & CCA Hazard, Vulnerability and Exposure Risk assessment Developing Building guidelines, Codes, Publications, planning Tools Awareness, Training, Implementation and Supervision Land Use planning, integrating into development and urban plans
