Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific Region
from Part III - Regional and Local Perspectives and Solutions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2022
This chapter highlights three areas where local communities across the Asia-Pacific region – supported by National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (National Societies) – are already active in addressing climate- and disaster-related displacements. These areas include community engagement in developing legal and policy frameworks; community-led vulnerability, risk, and capacity assessments; and community participation in innovative anticipatory humanitarian approaches to addressing displacement. This chapter highlights both best practices associated with these examples and some of the challenges that these examples face in successful implementation. It proposes that these examples warrant further attention, support, and engagement, both as stand-alone practices and as part of a broader commitment and support for community participation and leadership in addressing climate- and disaster-related displacement.
