Increasingly practitioners and policy makers working \ud across the globe are recognising the importance of \ud bringing together disaster risk reduction and climate \ud change adaptation. From studies across 15 Pacific island \ud nations, a key barrier to improving national resilience \ud to disaster risks and climate change impacts has been \ud identified as a lack of capacity and expertise resulting \ud from the absence of sustainable accredited and quality \ud assured formal training programmes in the disaster risk \ud reduction and climate change adaptation sectors. In the \ud 2016 UNISDR Science and Technology Conference \ud on the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for \ud Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, it was raised that \ud most of the training material available are not reviewed \ud either through a peer-to-peer mechanism or by the \ud scientific community and are, thus, not following quality \ud assurance standards. In response to these identified \ud barriers, this paper focuses on a call for accredited formal \ud qualifications for capacity development identified in the \ud 2015 United Nations landmark agreements in DRR and \ud CCA and uses the Pacific Islands Region of where this \ud is now being implemented with the launch of the Pacific \ud Regional Federation of Resilience Professionals, for \ud DRR and CCA. A key issue is providing an accreditation \ud and quality assurance mechanism that is shared across \ud boundaries. This paper argues that by using the United \ud Nations landmark agreements of 2015, support for a \ud regionally accredited capacity development that ensures \ud all countries can produce, access and effectively use \ud scientific information for disaster risk reduction and \ud climate change adaptation. The newly launched Pacific \ud Regional Federation of Resilience Professionals who \ud work in disaster risk reduction and climate change \ud adaptation may offer a model that can be used more \ud widely. |
