Welcome to the SDC Climate, DRR & Environment Network
Climate, Disaster Risk Reduction and Environment are topics that need to be considered in all sectors of development. By acting wisely, we can protect development gains and add value to nature- and climate positive development action. The CDE Network fosters knowledge, assists the policy dialogue in-house, disseminates experiences and innovation from SDC and partners, and informs on our multilateral engagement in Climate and DRR action. The CDE Network connects overall SDC with the CDE Section.

Ahead of El Niño: Switzerland's approach to disaster risk reduction
The current El Niño event is already very strong and could produce devastating consequences, pushing the cost of inaction higher and higher. Anticipating natural hazards and building on Switzerland’s holistic approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) is therefore more important than ever. This is particularly relevant in southern Africa, where Switzerland supports anticipatory, predictable, nationally owned risk management.
