Based on the knowledge of the Red Cross Red Crescent in disaster risk management and additional experience gained by partners through pioneering programs such as Partners for Resilience, the Minimum Standards for local climate-smart DRR have been developed, tested, and validated over the past few years with a view to strengthening communities’ capacities as well as the institutions that support them. The Minimum Standards remain a ‘live’ product subject to improvement based on new and additional evidence generated on their effectiveness and efficiency in making DRR interventions more climate-smart.
