Climate and disaster risk-informing
the Common Country Analysis (CCA)
Part of the full Training Package on Integrating DRR and
Climate Change Adaptation in the UN Sustainable
Development Cooperation Framework

Objective of the training
• Participants understand how climate and disasters affect SDG progress.
• Participants know what sources of evidence can support risk informed CCAs.
• Participants know what risk-related questions to ask in each part of the CCA.

Risk-informing the Economic Transformation Analysis
Structure of the Economy:
- Overlaps between regions of high economic productivity/key transport and
energy networks and regions at risk from climate change or hazards
Implications of monetary and fiscal policy on sustainable development:
- Level of investment in climate/disaster risk management
Impacts of external factors on the economy:
- Key productive sectors vulnerable to external climate and disaster shocks (i.e.
risks from transboundary risks or risks to value chains or travel)
Cross-sectoral impacts of economic policies:
- Economic policies contributing increased risk of disasters from natural or man-
made hazards
- Risk screening in development planning

Risk-informing the Social Exclusion Analysis
Analysis of social structure:
- Overlap between climate-vulnerable and disaster-prone areas with areas
characterised by exclusion, social conflict or declining social cohesion
Analysis of intersectionality of discrimination:
- Legal and social barriers preventing specific groups from accessing risk
mitigation infrastructure
Review of main drivers of exclusion:
- Legal, spatial, social, technological, language and literacy barriers for accessing
risk information and early warning, social safety nets, emergency health services,
and life-saving water and sanitation infrastructure
- Migration out of areas affected by disasters and climate change?
Assess manifestations of exclusion:
- Disproportionate disaster-related health impacts, deaths, loss and damage
affecting any particular group or higher poverty levels in affected areas

Risk-informing the Environment Analysis
Assessing the state of the environment:
-Impact of disasters and climate change on environmental assets/natural
capital
Challenges in interactions between people and the environment:
- Impacts of disasters and climate change on health, land use, water scarcity,
food and energy security
- Contribution of environmental conditions and environmental management to
increase or reduce disaster risk
Review of environmental policy mechanisms:
- Areas of national environmental management frameworks that support
implementation and reporting towards the Sendai Framework and/or Paris
Agreement

Risk-informing the Governance and Institutional Capacity
Analysis
Examination of the legal framework and institutions:
- Climate and disaster risk management duty-bearers and rights
- Integrated or siloed frameworks
- Climate and disaster risks mainstreaming in development plans/policies
- Disaster impacts on human rights
Reviewing mechanisms for participation and civic space:
- Existence of national DRR platform and climate change adaptation platform
Reviewing commitment to evidence-based policy making:
- Capacity for producing high-quality risk data and analysis
Reviewing capacities and gaps for implementation of the SDGs and LNOB:
- Capacity gaps of climate and disaster risk management duty-bearers with
regards to international commitments, environmental agreements, and treaties
- Capacities

Exercise instruction
Exercise duration: 15-20 minutes.
Exercise instruction:
1: Using your own knowledge, list the natural, biological, technological and
climate-related slow onset hazards relevant to your country context.
2: Go through the listed sources of evidence, and check off whether the
Common Country Analysis team has collected this document yet or not.
3: If a document has not been collected, brainstorm or use online sources to
download the document or determine where it can be collected from.
4: Looking at the list of documents, identify any additional consultations the
Common Country Analysis team should do to ensure that the climate and

Summary and conclusion
Climate and disaster risks can
− Affect all sectors and interact with different vulnerabilities
− Be generated, increased or reduced by development choices
− Be managed with institutional and community risk management capacities
Multiple disciplines research and manage climate and disaster
risks
− Multiple government counterparts, frameworks and research institutions
− In-country and specialized UN entities can contribute
Identifying climate and disaster risks, resilience capacities and
capacity gaps in the Common Country Analysis is critical to
formulate a risk-responsive Cooperation Framework.
