学者和发展实践者都承认，许多针对社区减少灾害风险和适应气候变化的共同战略是相互重复的。因此，需要大力推动这两个领域的整合，以提高援助有效性并减少社区的混乱。介绍了基于社区的减少灾害风险 (DRR) 和气候变化适应 (CCA) 项目的示例，以强调太平洋地区解决这些问题的一些方法。采用了各种方法，但所有方法都旨在减少脆弱性并增强当地社区对气候变化和灾害影响的抵御能力。通过重点关注三个案例研究，得出了最佳实践的要素，以说明如何整合减少灾害风险和共同气候评估以提高援助有效性，并探讨如何在正在进行的和未来的项目中更好地协调这两个经常重叠的领域。人们发现，全面解决脆弱性并针对社区整体需求和能力的项目可有效增强社区的复原力。通过战略性地制定多利益相关者和多部门的方法，社区项目可能会包含一系列有益于社区的经验和技能。此外，通过融入当地知识，社区更有可能参与并积极参与项目。通过选定的案例研究，确定并讨论了整合 DRR 和 CCA 的常见最佳实践方法，并提出了如何克服常见挑战的建议。
It is acknowledged by academics and development practitioners alike that many common strategies addressing community based disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation duplicate each other. Thus, there is a strong push to integrate the two fields to enhance aid effectiveness and reduce confusion for communities. Examples of community based disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) projects are presented to highlight some of the ways these issues are tackled in the Pacific. Various approaches are employed but all aim to reduce the vulnerability and enhance the resilience of local communities to the impacts of climate change and disasters. By focusing on three case studies, elements of best practice are drawn out to illustrate how DRR and CCA can be integrated for enhanced aid effectiveness, and also look at ways in which these two often overlapping fields can be better coordinated in ongoing and future projects. Projects that address vulnerability holistically, and target the overall needs and capacity of the community are found to be effective in enhancing the resilience of communities. By strategically developing a multi-stakeholder and multi-sector approach, community projects are likely to encapsulate a range of experience and skills that will benefit the community Furthermore, by incorporating local knowledge, communities are far more likely to be engaged and actively participate in the project. From selected case studies, commonly occurring best practice methods to integrate DRR and CCA are identified and discussed and recommendations on how to overcome the common challenges also presented.
