摘要面对气候变化，发展和人道主义从业者越来越认识到需要预测和管理多重、同时发生的风险。日益重视预期的一个突出例子是基于预测的筹资的快速增长，特别是在红十字会和红新月会(红十字会)内部。为了评估预见性努力如何在新冠肺炎大流行期间管理多个复合风险，我们研究了14个加拿大皇家儿科学会如何根据新冠肺炎调整它们的早期行动协议。虽然许多国家的学会成功地适应了新冠肺炎额外危险的开始，但我们发现，多危害风险管理可以通过以下方法来改进：积极制定能够快速适应现有计划的指南；更灵活的筹资机制；激增的能力以提供更多的人力资源；以及提高当地的实施能力和所有权，以确保在通信或旅行受到限制时可以获得用品、技能和决策权。这些发现与改进发展、人道主义和气候适应实践以提高地方能力和机构的更广泛建议相一致。它们还增加了更广泛的呼吁，即更灵活的灾害融资和更面向实践者的气候风险和多种灾害管理投资。
ABSTRACT In the face of climate change, development and humanitarian practitioners increasingly recognize the need to anticipate and manage multiple, concurrent risks. One prominent example of this increasing focus on anticipation is the rapid growth of Forecast-based Financing (FbF), in particular within Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC). To evaluate how anticipatory efforts managed multiple compounding risks during the COVID-19 pandemic, we examine how 14 RCRC Societies adapted their Early Action Protocols to COVID-19. Though many National Societies successfully adapted to the onset of the additional hazard of COVID-19, we find that multi-hazard risk management can be improved by: proactively developing guidelines that enable rapid adaptation of existing plans; more flexible funding mechanisms; surge capacity to provide additional human resources; and increasing local capacity and ownership for implementation to ensure supplies, skills, and decision-making authority are available when communication or travel is restricted. These findings align with wider recommendations for improving development, humanitarian, and climate adaptation practice towards local capacity and agency. They also add urgency to broader calls for more flexible disaster financing and more practitioner-oriented investment in climate risk and multi-hazard management.
