Protect yourself from flooding! Risk Assessment in practice. Technical methods to define Critical Sites and Risks of flooding. Application of tools to determine the cost-effectiveness of mitigation measures.
From observations to resilience: unlocking NGO potential for weather,
water and climate services
SDC offers a 2-day workshop for its staff and members of the Swiss NGO DRR Platform to strengthen capacities on CDE mainstreaming, working hands-on with the CEDRIG tool.
Part two: Risk Assessment, March – May 2024
Enhance the capacity of practitioners on how to independently conduct a hazard and risk assessment, including how to retrieve airborne data, and determine the cost-benefit ratio of a DRR measure.
Protect yourself from flooding! Hazard analysis in practice.
Part one: Hazard Assessment, March – June 2023.
Enhance the capacity of practitioners on how to independently conduct a hazard and risk assessment, including how to retrieve airborne data, and determine the cost-benefit ratio of a DRR measure.
The Swiss NGO DRR Platform invites to the annual F2F event about how to integrate climate and disaster risk into programmes and projects, across different thematic sectors … and much more
The goal of this webinar by the Swiss NGO DRR Platform is to provide an overview of how to find sources for climate projections, encourage participants to access and use this information to climate-proof projects, provide first insights on how to apply climate projections at programming/project planning level, and start a discussion and sharing between participants on good examples, challenges and areas where further support is needed.

Linking concepts, connecting stakeholders, strengthening resilience
Background What are people’s stories behind disasters and climate change and how to tell them to decision makers? Climate change and disasters count as key impediments to sustainable development with the brunt still borne by the most vulnerable in the global South. On the other hand, appropriate climate and disaster risk management can unlock social […]
Background So-called grey solutions; conventional civil engineering infrastructure for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) are often used to mitigate disaster impacts and protect people and assets. Nature-based solutions, on the other hand, refer to solutions using nature and its ecosystems services, which can complement or even replace grey measures as they are increasingly recognized as being more […]
Background Urban disaster risk reduction and resilience building are becoming increasingly relevant as already more than 50% of the global population resides in cities and urbanization particularly in mid-sized cities of Africa and Asia is on the rise. While offering a broad spectre of opportunities, urbanization also comes along with often unplanned city development which […]
Background Water-related disasters – mainly floods – account for 90% of all disasters, jeopardizing sustainable development especially in low and middle income countries. Nevertheless floods are manageable; Tools, models, forecasts, structural measures etc. to substantially reduce damages exist but are often not effectively used and incorporated into integrated approaches. The workshop offers water, disaster risk […]
