Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in International Cooperation
A Landscape of Swiss Expertise
Preventing and overcoming crises, conflicts and catastrophes has become a strategic priority of Switzerland’s International Cooperation. In light of this, PLANAT was commissioned to provide an overview of Swiss expertise in the area of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). The primary objective of this landscape study was to identify institutions that could contribute to putting the strategy into practice.
This briefing report outlines key findings of the PLANAT Landscape Study. The list and profiles of
the institutions illustrate the diversity of Swiss expertise in the fields of DRR and CCA; a map of
the world shows where this expertise is applied in the context of international cooperation.
