Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) are two sides of the same coin, but as it is now, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and the Climate Change Commission (CCC) are two separate agencies that should really work together as if they are conjugal twins. Needless to say, natural disasters and climate changes have other effects on the economy of the affected areas, effects such as the damage to the local infrastructure and the loss of livelihoods. In simple terms, what that really means is making the coastal communities achieve the twin goals of reducing the impacts of natural disasters, at the same time increasing their incomes by way of having several means of production that are disaster proof and climate resilient, hopefully that is.
