Checklist for Integrating DRR and CCA into Scoio-Economic Development by NEMA Korea

• The Asia Pacific region is one of the most vulnerable regions to natu-ral disasters.

• Economic losses from disasters are rising exponentially as more and more of our recently developed infrastructure is affected. In addi-tion, the region’s vulnerability to climate change is likely to increase.

• Climate change will affect all sectors of our society. All sectors must be involved to meet those future challenges.

• Guided by Incheon REMAP, which was adopted by 53 ministers and high-level officials at the 4th AMCDRR in Oct 2010

• Developed by NEMA Korea, Yonsei University and UNISDR GETI with the support of UN ESCAP, Northumbria University, GCAP, ADPC, NDMI Korea, and Seoul National University.

• Provide tools and guidance for integrated development planning in Asia Pacific countries.

• Open a dialogue for integrated development planning among Planning Ministries, climate change committees, local governments and national Disaster management Organisations (NDMOs) in Asia and Pacific region

• Support key actors in assessing the status of those functions to integrated development planning and to identify opportunities for early action

• Encourage leadership among socio-economic planning ministries for ef-fective DRR & CCA integration into development planning
