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.

The Blatten disaster and integrated risk management
Looking back at the events in Blatten, this webinar, organised by the CDE network, brought together insights from the scientific community and from the application of integrated risk management to this emergency. The presentation of a case from a less developed country led to a discussion on what good practices and lessons learned could be used in developing countries.
