Our work is often delivered using the following tools and methodologies.

  • • A Do-No-Harm-Assessment
  • • A climate risk map,
  • • A risk-based vulnerability assessment methodology,
  • • Collaborating, Learning and Adapting (CLA)
  • • A database of all kinds of adaptation options, and
  • • An online decision support tool for planning and implementing adaptation actions.

At IDRRUR, we formulate and facilitate dialogue and scale up community-based practices. We enhance resilience to climate change impacts and natural disasters, all aimed at developing community, ward and city level resilience enhancement actions and capacity building.


Community-Level

  • • To support the implementation of prioritized resilience actions in vulnerable communities.
  • • To strengthen the capacity of local communities to respond to climate change and natural hazards using indigenous knowledge, science, and appropriate technology.

Ward-Level

  • • To support the implementation of resilience actions that target the elderly/aged, women and youths etc.
  • • To strengthen the capacity of ward officials / councils to lead climate change adaptation and DRR planning activity, in support of increased urban resilience.
