The document discusses a consultation on improving the Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management Approach. Participants are asked to provide feedback on how the approach relates to their work and potential revisions. Suggestions will be discussed in small groups to identify the top 3 comments. The small groups will then present their top 3 comments in a plenary session. Participants will also brainstorm which aspects of the approach they find most useful.

1. Group work This is your chance to think about how the Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management Approach relates to your work, and to input into the development of the approach in order to create the next iteration.

2. Including your thoughts... Latest version shared. South East Asia Consultation is the third regional consultation. Today you have the chance to tell us how the Approach relates to your work, and to consider (and put forward) potential revisions to the approach. IDS Fellows will be charged with incorporating these, and a new version will be shared. Proviso: changes may be modified along the way, as the process develops. October 2010 published‘ consultation version’.

3. Consultation on the CSDRM Approach Task Process Consider the question - In what ways can the approach be improved? 2 cards per person, consider and write your own suggestions. Each person to read out their cards to the group. As a group, discuss the cards. For example, are there any duplications? Can the cards be grouped into similar suggestions? As a group, identify your top 3 comments to feedback. Discuss which suggestions you feel are most important. Identify 3 comments/feedback to share in plenary (through discussion, or voting!). Write your 3 comments on a flip-chart paper - nominate someone to read these out in plenary. Stick all other suggestions from the group onto two flipcharts (one for usefulness, one for improvements). Brainstorm - What aspects of the approach do you find most interesting/useful? Brainstorm as a group on flip-charts. (Please write as clearly as possible!)
