Building on case study research from seven different countries in Asia and Africa, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Malawi and Kenya, the report sets out a set of guiding principles for efforts to reduce longer-term vulnerability and limit the recurrence of humanitarian crises.
Research for the report was conducted between 2012 and 2016 as part of the international research project ‘Courting Catastrophe? Humanitarian Policy and Practice in a Changing Climate’, funded by the Research Council of Norway.
