This document discusses the close links between climate change, disaster risk reduction, and the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). It outlines five priorities of the HFA that provide a foundation for both disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation: 1) make reduction of disaster risks a priority, 2) assess disaster risks and enhance early warning, 3) increase education and awareness of safety, 4) reduce underlying risk factors, and 5) strengthen disaster preparedness. Integrating efforts between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction can produce a "triple win" by limiting climate impacts, supporting adaptation, and reducing poverty. This requires political will, multi-stakeholder participation, and designing projects that address both adaptation and risk reduction.
