| description |
South Asia is one of the region’s most
vulnerable to the impacts of natural hazards, particularly
climate-induced extremes. The frequency and intensity of
climate-induced hazards are projected to increase in the
coming years, threatening the safety of households and
communities, their livelihoods, and the development gains
they have achieved. Further, disasters and climate change
events have differential impacts on those who are socially
excluded or marginalized. These groups especially include
women, persons with disabilities (PwD), ethnic and religious
minorities, the indigenous, the elderly, and the poor. They
tend to live in higher-risk areas with increased exposure
and vulnerability to natural hazards, often have limited
resources to draw upon when they are struck by a disaster,
and are not typically represented in decision-making bodies
that deliver disaster risk management (DRM) interventions.
Although most South Asian countries have put in place
several DRM policies, programs, and plans that commit to
promoting social inclusion, a gap persists between these
policy instruments and the actions on the ground. Throughout
the entire DRM cycle, of disaster risk mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery, measures must be both
designed and implemented to reflect the needs, capabilities,
and voices of socially excluded groups. Only after these
gaps between de jure policies and de facto actions are
addressed will it be possible to ensure the resilience of
all people in South Asia to withstand climate- and
disaster-related impacts in the future. |
