Abstract

This chapter highlights existing institutions and capacities that can be deployed for disaster risk management. It starts with a discussion of the process for assessing capacities and some of the key international, regional, and national actors in the military and civilian sectors with technical expertise, capacity, and authority to address climate change-related natural disasters, including those that work on planning, preparedness, response, and recovery. It then considers tools for building adaptive capacity, including a course on “Climate Change, Disasters, and Security” and a suite of tools on environmental peacebuilding.
