Once again, there is no mention of LINK in NAPA,
however, it recognizes the need to “increase the
resilience of vulnerable groups and to support
them to understand, avert and manage disasters”
(RDTL-MED 2010: 37). The NDMD and the SSE can
work together in the Sector Working Group on
disasters to promote the use of LINK to increase CSI
communities’ resilience to climate-related hazards by,
inter alia, increasing their awareness and improving
their knowledge by combining LINK with science.
It has been recognized that climate-related risks
can be reduced if cooperation among relevant
government agencies is promoted and collaboration
and coordination activities are formalized through a
multi-sector mechanism (cf. RDTL-MED 2012).
