Reducing multi-dimensional risks – including those related to natural and human-made environmental, technological and biological hazards – is fundamental to meeting humanitarian needs and achieving sustainable development. In many humanitarian contexts, people who are living precarious lives impacted by conflict, civil strife, or other shocks and stresses, are also confronted by systemic risks such as climate change and the global pandemic. As a result, underlying vulnerabilities and exposure to risks are compounding and undermining capacities for resilience.
This checklist 2.0 is a condensed version of a more comprehensive set of recommendations on scaling up disaster risk reduction in humanitarian action, developed through an extensive consultative process in 2019-2021, to support operationalization of humanitarian-development-peace collaboration through the scaling up of risk reduction.
