UNIT 1. RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE MANAGEMENT The International Context of Disaster Risk Management (The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction) International Context of Climate Change. The IPCC: Climate Change Generalities and Scenarios. Concepts related to disaster risk management and climate change and articulation levels Lines of action for risk management and structural and non-structural intervention for risk reduction Risk management by scenarios UNIT 2. RISK OF DISASTER AND CLIMATE CHANGE General basis of climate change The IPCC: Climate change generalities and scenarios Relation development - risk - disasters (risk construction) and the effects and impacts of climate variability and climate change Extensive and Intensive Risks, their impact on human development The inequalities and conditions of vulnerability and the impacts and effects of climate variability and climate change UNIT 3. SYSTEMIC APPROACH FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DISASTER RISK AND CLIMATE CHANGE MANAGEMENT Areas for risk management and climate change (to institutional to the sectorial, private, territorial, community sector) Participants and Actions for the management of disaster risk and climate change Risk Management Planning instruments for risk management and climate change Institutionality, Entities and Organizations for the implementation and monitoring of actions Adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change UNIT 4. FOCUS OF PROCESSES AND STRATEGIES FOR AN INTEGRAL MANAGEMENT OF THE RISK OF DISASTERS AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE What does the process-based approach implies (change of the emergency and disasters care approach) in the context of climate variability and change Strategic Processes: Planning, Organization and monitoring Mission processes: Knowledge of risk, reduction of risk and management of disasters Support Processes: strengthening of human resource knowledge, public communication and information Strategies for a comprehensive management of the risk of disasters in the context of climate variability and climate change
