Preparedness for Climate Change Programme
The Preparedness for Climate Change Programme (PfCC) aims to build capacity within NSs and zones at-large, to assess and address the humanitarian consequences of climate change through 4 guiding steps. In response to continued demand from Red Cross/Red Crescent National Societies (NSs) for capacity building on managing changing climate risks, the Climate Centre rolled out Phase 2 of the Programme in December 2009. Phase 2 is being conducted in close consultation with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and with funding support from the Netherlands government. Continuation of the programme is helping 27 more national societies to assess changing climate risks in their respective counties and to prepare action plans to address those risks and the potential implications for their programs. A web-based guidance provides you with some further background on the programme, including the different components that would typically be included. You will find an explanation of the purpose of each component, practical information and templates for documents. This web based guide which will also contain some example templates, links to useful resources and examples from Phase 1. Please find here
