气候变化虽然是一种自然现象，但也因人类活动而加速。应对气候变化的灾害政策取决于许多因素，例如是否愿意接受气候变化的现实、机构和能力，以及将气候变化风险评估和管理纳入发展战略的意愿。这些条件尚未普遍存在。忽视将加强能力建设和复原力作为管理气候变化风险的先决条件，很可能对减少对这些风险的脆弱性几乎毫无帮助。减少脆弱性是减少气候变化风险的一个关键方面。要做到这一点，就需要对气候变化风险采取新的方法，并改变制度结构和关系。把重点放在发展上，而忽视了加强治理和复原力，这是管理气候变化风险的先决条件，很可能无助于降低对这些风险的脆弱性。
Climate change, although a natural phenomenon, is accelerated by human activities. Disaster policy response to climate change is dependent on a number of factors, such as readiness to accept the reality of climate change, institutions and capacity, as well as willingness to embed climate change risk assessment and management in development strategies. These conditions do not yet exist universally. A focus that neglects to enhance capacity-building and resilience as a prerequisite for managing climate change risks will, in all likelihood, do little to reduce vulnerability to those risks. Reducing vulnerability is a key aspect of reducing climate change risk. To do so requires a new approach to climate change risk and a change in institutional structures and relationships. A focus on development that neglects to enhance governance and resilience as a prerequisite for managing climate change risks will, in all likelihood, do little to reduce vulnerability to those risks.
