Sub-Programme for Disaster Risk Reduction. One of the most damaging consequences of climate change is the sea level rise, which in recent years has been shown to occur at alarming rates. The Caribbean region is subject to this as well as to other special vulnerabilities, due to intense and important climate variations that have consequences that impact the whole planet, such as long term changes in the intensity, distribution and prevalent paths of tropical cyclones and other extreme weather phenomena. The sub-programme will be consistent with the basic tenets of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction 2015 – 2030 and will include: − Development of measures to adapt to sea level rise; − Strengthening early warning systems through collection, analysis, management and use of relevant data, including preparation of risk maps, on the evolution of weather phenomena and their impact on ecosystems at the social and spatial scale; − Strengthening disaster risk governance and national capacities for disasters prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and rehabilitation, and fostering collaboration and partnership across mechanisms and institutions for the implementation of instruments relevant to disaster risk reduction and sustainable development; − Enhancing the resilience of national health systems, including by integrating disaster risk management into health care systems, especially at the local level; − Development of contingency plans for risk management due to natural disasters; − Development of adaptation measures for critical facilities, such as schools and hospitals; − Development of new building codes, rehabilitation and reconstruction practices and standardized building materials; − Increasing resilience of new and existing critical infrastructure, including water and sanitation, transportation and telecommunications infrastructure.
