Turin, 23-27 Nov 2009 ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF 1

Disasters and Climate Change in UNDAF

• Climate change effects occurrence of natural hazards and vulnerability to disasters (IPCC)

• Early impacts of climate change in developing countries - increase in extreme climate events

• Global agenda and emerging funds driven by climate change - national concerns grounded in disaster events and climate variability

Turin, 23-27 Nov 2009 ToT on Integrating DRR into the CCA UNDAF

How is Climate Change Impact Assessed?

• Information is available on projections of changes due to global warming

• Sensitivity analysis to identify most immediate climate change impacts
