17. 4. Practical examples linking DRR and CCA Cambodia: ‘How to Reduce Drought Risk’ tool, combined with the participatory rural appraisal tools, used to identify likely causes of recent droughts in Mekong region. Provides policy recommendations and a model for drought management at community level, as well as the framework for community-based drought management

28. CRM a convergence between CCA-DRR Extreme Climate Events a common element Adaptation Deficits Approach Under progress

29. ADAPTATION DEFICITS is a relevant approach Firstly, address adaptation to climate variability manifested in extreme climate events Anticipate climate change issues and build capacities of institutions- Climate Risk Information Systems 5. Guidance notes for implementing and sustaining DRR-CCA projects

30. Study Recent Extreme Event If no impacts on society Zero Gaps; Perfect System ADAPTATION DEFICITS

31. Study Recent Extreme Event If significant impacts on society Indicates Gaps or Deficits ADAPTATION DEFICITS Address these Gaps Review in next event in iterative mode to perfect the system

33. 6. Conclusions on what defines good CCA Anticipation of risks and actions Incorporates precautionary principle Appreciation of gradual changes in environment induced by CC, needing graduated response Managing current extreme climate events to manage future CC impacts Institutional mechanisms to link science and societal management systems Development incorporating present and future risks Addressing elements of exposure to current and future risks and avoids maladaptation in future
