| Definition |
A Policy to be implemented anytime there is Change in Climate over time whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity. Disaster risk governance is the system of institutions, mechanisms, policy and legal frameworks and other arrangements to guide, coordinate and oversee disaster risk reduction and related areas of policy. |
|---|---|
| Concept |
It is a systematic approach for identifying, assessing and reducing the risks of disaster. It aims to reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to disaster as well as dealing with the environmental and other hazards that trigger them. |
| Rationale |
It should be a policy document that will incorporates recommendations from the risk assessment which analysed Vanuatu’s climate change and disaster risk governance capacity and needs at both national and local levels, and from local, provincial and national consultations. It aims to be accessible to and implemented by all government agencies and non-governmental stakeholders. The policy should take a practical approach, taking into consideration Vanuatu’s resources, exposure to risks, and demographic situation. |
