Inclusive Disaster Risk Governance for Climate Resilience in Asia (IRC) Inclusive Disaster Risk Governance for Climate Resilience in Asia (IRC) - Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia Strengthening Inclusive Disaster Risk Governance for Climate Resilience in Asia is a collaboration between the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Duryog Nivaran and the Asia Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRN). The intervention will last for 4.5 years. IRC is the leading organization in the consortium and is the agreement partner to Sida. The main geographic focus of the programme is South Asia and Southeast Asia.

The consortium will strengthen the resilience of communities at risk to climate change. This will be achieved by: (1) strengthening regional networks of civil society organizations to achieve inclusive climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction; (2) mitigating power imbalances that lead to increased climate and disaster risks facing women, men, girls, and boys and other at-risk groups; and (3) helping communities, local governments, and other stakeholders to take sustainable local-level adaptive actions and contribute to environmental sustainability. Strengthening Inclusive Disaster Risk Governance for Climate Resilience in Asia är ett samarbete mellan International Rescue Committee (IRC), Duryog Nivaran och Asia Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRN). Interventionen ska pågå I 4,5 år. IRC är den ledande organisationen i konsortiet och är avtalspartner till Sida. Insatsens geografiska fokus är Sydasien och Sydostasien. 

Insatsen kommer att stärka motståndskraft för klimatförändring. Detta kommer att uppnås genom: (1) stärkt regionala nätverk av civilsamhällsorganisationer som bidrar till klimatanpassning och katastrofsriskreducering; (2) minskade ojämställdhet mellan kvinnor, män, flickor och pojkar samt andra utsätta grupper inom deras klimatarbete; och (3) stärkta möjligheter för samhällena och lokala myndigheterna att vidta hållbara anpassningsåtgärder på lokal nivå. The overall objective of the Programme is to increase adaptability and strengthen the resilience of communities at risk to climate change and disasters in Asia. In particular:

Objective 1: regional networks will amplify local voices and influence duty bearers to fulfill commitments on inclusive climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction actions;

Objective 2: power imbalances that exacerbate climate and disaster risks facing women, men, girls and boys, and other at risk groups, are understood and mitigated;

Objective 3: communities, local government and other stakeholders will strengthen sustainable local-level adaptive actions and contribute to environmental sustainability.
