The study specifically focuses on response and resilience for pastoralists in the face of drought

Climate for Development in South Asia (ClimDev-SAsia). An inventory of cooperative programmes and sources of climate risk information to support robust adaptation information to support robust adaptation.

The overall objective of this scoping study is to gather evidence of existing cooperation amongst the suppliers and users of climate risk information in South Asia, and to identify opportunities for strengthening future data demand and coordination for climate change adaptation and development planning.

Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters in the Agriculture Sector: Lessons from the IPCC SREX Report.

The report considered the role of development in exposure and vulnerability, the implications for disaster risk and DRM, and the interactions between extreme events, extreme impacts, and development. It examined how human responses to extreme events and disasters could contribute to adaptation objectives, and how adaptation to climate change could become better integrated with DRM practice.

The appraisal of economic efficiency of selected adaptation options to extreme climate-related event risks of the DFID development assistance portfolio in Bangladesh via Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA).

Probabilistic cost-benefit analysis of disaster risk management in a development context

This research introduces quantitative, stochastic CBA frameworks and applies them in case studies of flood and drought risk reduction in India and Pakistan, while also incorporating projected climate change impacts. DRM interventions are shown to be economically efficient, with integrated approaches more cost-effective and robust than singular interventions.

Natural Disaster Risk Management and Financing Disaster Losses in Developing Countries

The main objective of the book is to establish a platform to provide information on the costs caused by disasters and the costs and benefits of disaster risk management focusing on ex-ante risk financing measures taken governments in developing countries.

Cost-benefit Analysis of Natural Disaster Risk Management in Developing Countries

This manual informs about the potential and applicability of CBA for natural disaster management in developing countries for a context with often little data and resources. The manual involved desk-based research as well as project visits to Peru and Indonesia in order to test and outline the feasibility of CBA in different contexts.

The Cost-Benefit Analysis Methodology, From Risk to Resilience Working Paper No. 1

This working paper discusses key methodological aspects and findings from CBA of DRM strategies in a detailed case study in Uttar Pradesh, India (Risk to Resilience Working Paper No. 5). It also provides a backdrop for other case studies carried out under the Risk to Resilience project.

Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: An Independent Study to Assess the Future Savings from Mitigation Activities. Volume 2 − Study Documentation

This study shows that money spent on reducing the risk of natural hazards is a sound investment. On average, a dollar spent by FEMA on hazard mitigation (actions to reduce disaster losses) saves the nation about $4 in future benefits.
