Abstract

This Policy Arena provides four papers exploring development policy for climate‐related disaster risk reduction, including but not limited to climate change. The first two papers explore popular concepts, first ‘vulnerability’, ‘capacity’ and ‘resilience’ and second ‘climate refugees’ and ‘climate conflict’. The last two papers each cover a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Samoa, respectively. The key development policy lesson from the papers is a framing that places climate change within wider climate, disaster risk reduction and development perspectives. That is further highlighted here through describing the Many Strong Voices programme that learns from the past to aim for a better future by tackling climate change. Learning from the history of international development assists in addressing root causes, such as vulnerability and poverty, to achieve effective development policy.
