Identifying Risk
Pillar 1 focused on innovative methods for the collection and dissemination of actionable climate risk data, to inform risk-reduction and response measures.
It strengthened the identification and understanding of climate risk and uncertainty in the local context and enhanced the linkages and coordination between risk-management stakeholders. To make decisions that ultimately strengthen physical, social, and financial resilience, a thorough understanding of disaster and climate risks in the local context and their implications is vital. This informs decision makers about the risks they face and the drivers of those risks. As such, Pillar 1 increased access to comprehensive information about physical and societal exposure to climate risks, which inform implementation of structural and non-structural mitigation measures.
