A Global Agenda for the International Federation
Goal 1: Reduce the number of deaths, injuries and impact from disasters.
Goal 2: Reduce the number of deaths, illnesses and impact from diseases and public health emergencies.
Goal 3: Increase the capacity of local community, civil society and Red Cross Red Crescent to address the most urgent situations of vulnerability.
Goal 4: Promote respect for diversity and human dignity, and reduce intolerance, discrimination and social exclusion.

How does the Federation manage the disaster at National, Regional and Global level ?
Learning from local communities, “first responders, grass root info” (trends, predictions, forecasting etc. Gender – sex, age, disabilities….)
Coordination, monitoring, evaluations, lessons learned, and best practices (“Build Back Better”)
Emergency preparedness (tracking, forecasting, monitoring, sharing info)
Information management from web-based global platform (DMIS)
Disaster response tools (FACT, RDRT, ERU, Logistics) Training of volunteers, national/regional and international staffs
– also communities through formal and informal education.
Partner with other organisations and authorities at multiple levels

How the work of IFRC is fundedThe IFRC’s annual appeal asks for resources for: Humanitarian assistance for enduring emergencies. Building capacity to better serve communities. Global programmes. Donor support in 2008 – US$ 176 million (CHF201 million)
Emergency appeals ask for resources: To boost a national society’s ability to respond to a disaster. DREF – Emergency Response Fund Appeals launched by IFRC at request of national societies. Donor support for Emergency Appeals in 2008 – CHF 282 million.

CLIMATE CHANGE• Focus on CCA – ie consequences of CC driven disasters.
• Planning into the un-known
• Training communities and volunteers through formal and informal channels.• CCA as part of DRR
International Federationof Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation
CC will generate new disaster dimensions
Note: slow-onset disasters related to the depletion of the natural resource base

Climate Centre – RC/RC
Since 2002, give assistance to NS to bridge CCA and DRR.
“Triple A” principle: Awareness, Action and Advocacy + Analyses
RC/RC Climate Guide (November 2007)
International Federationof Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Linking DRR and CCA1) Assessing and addressing
current and future climate risks at national and local levels
2) Assessing and addressing current and future climate risks with communities (sudden and slow on-set)
3) Education and awareness-raising (Formal and in-formal)
4) Advocacy (humanitarian values and
equity aspect – voice of the vulnerable)5) Integrating DRR and climate
change adaptation into existing training, plans and strategies IFRC, 2009
International Federationof Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Key messages
1. Integrate CCA into the policy and strategic plans 2. Comprehensive risk mapping through VCA (Vulnerability
and capacity Assessment)3. Building the capacity of the community, Support
continuous livelihoods and Community financial preparedness
4. Implement advocacy, promotion, and education at all levels
5. Partnership with all stakeholders – For quality in response and preparedness as well as for outreach and sustainability of programming.
