Harmonized Perspectives - CDKN Global

holistic intervention and the relationship between poverty, poor development, disaster risk andcomplexity 140 .PerspectivesResistance to change and updateThe rapid advancement of science and the sharing of intercultural relations enriches DRR, with a widediversity of knowledge and wisdom derived from the Worldview of Indigenous Peoples, Biodiversity andClimate Change, it also increases complexity and with it the difficulty of understanding and populardissemination of DRR. The renovation efforts are sometimes fruitless due to the advance of scienceitself and intercultural relations, as well as some attitudes of officers, servers, social sectors and peoplein particular, for their resistance to accept new knowledge involving the necessary socialtransformations.The transition towards the holisticThe current institutional separation of management for risk reduction and adaptation and mitigation ofclimate change must be replaced by more integrated and complementary systems where there isrecognition that the risk is a poorly obtained product of processes of sectoral and territorialdevelopment and environmental management. Also, that adaptation will be possible at the reduction ofvulnerability, which means that, both management for risk reduction and adaptation, should be locatedand treated by Institutions for development planning and of those with responsibility for planning andimplementation of public and private investments 141 . Linkage between Climate Change and Disaster Riskis confirming the transition from the simple to the complex of the situation of the mono-causal towardsrealities of multi-threats and multi-risk of diverse origin, considering the anthropogenic as underlyingfactor.Security and DefenseThe current global security crisis, demands the integrity of approaches, and the framework andprocesses for DRR, do not escape it. The social perspective and sustainable development must becomplemented by the approach or framework for security and defense. The American continent andespecially the Central American region, in the last decade there has been a substantial progress in thisfield. Treaties, meetings and regional summits have worked on a conceptual basis of the threat anddisaster. In this regard we can mention the Framework Treaty on Democratic Security in CentralAmerica, the creation of the Observatory and the Democratic Security Index on the Central America,Integration System, the dialogue with Mexico on Democratic Security and the recent Special Summit ofHeads of States and Government Countries of Central American Integration System for the Re-launchingof the Central American Integration Process. All these documents and authorities address the DRRissues.140 Lavell, Alan, The Risk of Disasters Occurrence, climate change, the local level and management.
