136 RISKS managing and reducing the risks associated with climate change and natural hazards. We must shift our thinking away from managing ‘disaster events’ to addressing the ‘underlying risks’ that are inherent in the development process. With this shift in mind, UNDP has been championing the concepts of ‘risk-informed development’ in its DRR and adaptation programmes, and ‘build back better’ in its recovery operations. Risk-informed development requires a functioning risk governance system. With the aim of protecting development investments and ultimately building people’s resilience, UNDP has made strengthening disaster risk governance a cornerstone of its efforts to understand, reduce and manage risk for the past two decades. Effective risk governance is difficult to achieve and needs extensive collaboration and ownership from many partners, including multiple agencies within governments. It requires long-term and indepth engagement to connect national/local plans and legislation to real-world impacts. It also requires capacity development beyond the traditional training; we need to strengthen local institutions so that they are eventually able to coordinate, solve problems, involve communities, share information and train others. 4 Scientific and multi-disciplinary analysis combined with local knowledge and risk-informed programming can provide practical solutions for today’s challenges. Enhancing the understanding and monitoring of disaster/climate risks – as well as learning from past disasters – is also integral to building societal resilience. UNDP’s approach UNDP has contributed to the social and economic recovery of disaster-affected communities and helped develop capacities through a two-pronged approach. First, we support national governments to assess recovery needs and plan and implement the recovery process. Second, we support communities to restore their livelihoods and carry out local risk reduction and adaptation measures. Both approaches embody the ‘build back better’ principle, which ensures recovery is not just an opportunity to A child walks to school in Bhaktapur, Nepal a month after an earthquake ravaged the country on 25 April 2015. The ‘build back better’ principle is key to creating resilience and saving lives in the future restore what was lost during a disaster, but an opportunity to build resilience and for government and society to transform and strengthen infrastructure and capacities. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, endorsed in March 2015, calls for a more holistic and systematic approach to DRR – one that emphasises the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships. UNDP’s newly developed DRR flagship programme ‘5-10-50’ is dedicated to taking up this challenge. 5-10-50 supports the implementation of the Sendai Framework by enabling 50 countries to move towards riskinformed development over a period of 10 years through five mutually reinforcing interventions (risk assessment and communication, inclusive risk governance, urban and local-level risk management, preparedness and early warning–early action, and resilient recovery). 5-10-50 is a vehicle for moving from piecemeal international support towards harmonised and coherent programming at the country level. This will require mobilising the right partners to bring about catalytic change on the ground by leveraging every partner’s comparative advantage. During this time of unprecedented challenges, we also have an unprecedented opportunity to align the agendas of the Sendai Framework, the post-2015 development agenda and an international climate change agreement. Global partners must listen to the growing number of voices that are calling for development to be addressed through a risk-informed lens. If they heed this call, we will be in possession of a powerful tool that can help people, communities and whole countries rise from poverty. 1 UNISDR, 2013, Global Assessment Report, www.preventionweb.net/english/hyogo/gar/2013/ en/home/index.html 2 World Bank, 2013, Building Resilience: Integrating Climate and Disaster Risk into Development, http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/ en/2013/11/18513435/building-resilienceintegrating-climate-disaster-risk-developmentworld-bank-group-experience-vol-1-2-main-report 3 United Nations, 2015, World Population Prospects: Key findings & advance tables (2015 revision), http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/publications/files/ key_findings_wpp_2015.pdf 4 For more information, see UNDP’s report, Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance: UNDP Support during the HFA Implementation Period 2005–2015, www.undp.org/content/undp/en/ home/librarypage/crisis-prevention-and-recovery/ strengthening-disaster-risk-governance.html © Reuters/Navesh Chitrakar SUSTAINABLE <strong>DEVELOPMENT</strong> <strong>GOALS</strong> 2016
PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE – ANYWHERE The PC-12 NG has proven itself to be the ultimate air medical transport. In some of the most extreme environments of our world, the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia rely on it to save lives with its outstanding dispatch reliability and unequalled mission flexibility. They operate from hundreds of short and unimproved airstrips that the competition can only fly over – with a fleet of over 30 Pilatus PC-12 NGs.
