“…Respondents cite the different sources of funding as an obstacle to integrating the two policy areas. These findings converge with the assertion by Dias et al (2021) that a lack of combined funding for DRR and CCA hinders integration. United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) (2019) argues that instead of perpetuating institutional competition for separate resource streams, there is a need to create financial instruments that operate at the nexus of DRR-CCA.…”

“…While DRR and CCA have a common purpose, the approach and measures are different. For instance, DRR focuses on the pre-emptive reduction of disaster risk and preparation for disasters rather than simply respond to them (Dias et al, 2021). Meanwhile, CCA is concerned with longer-term, gradual changes in climate and therefore only focuses on climate-related hazards (Dias et al, 2021).…”

“…Integrating DRR and CCA is essential for addressing the ever-present, complex, and increasing risks emanating from hazards and anthropogenic climate change (Amaratunga et al, 2017). As Dias et al (2021) indicates, there has been growing acknowledgement that DRR cannot be successful without considering future climate change and that CCA cannot be successful without addressing the impacts of disasters. Thus, implementing CCA and DRR coherently would be beneficial in generating sustainable actions (Dias et al, 2021).…”

Although the discussion and justification thereof on the importance of integrating DRR and CCA have matured, albeit conceptually, tangible examples of actual DRR and CCA integration are limited, if any.…”

Climate change, through extreme weather events, is increasing the risk and impacts of disasters. An increase in extreme weather events underscores the importance of bringing coherence in efforts to reduce the risk of disasters and to adapt to the impacts of the changing climate. The linkages between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) and the need to integrate the two policy areas are well documented in the literature. However, the implementation of DRR and CCA measures continues in isolation. This article seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to bring coherence between DRR and CCA by identifying factors that would make it easy to integrate the two policy areas. An exploratory-sequential mixed methods design was used to collect data from 41 participants from 10 of the 16 SADC Member States and two international cooperating partners. Participants identified political will and commitment, policy and legislative frameworks, provision of resources and capacities, addressing institutional barriers, and an improvement in communication and coordination as the main factors that could enhance the integration of government organizations for DRR and CCA. This paper submits that successful integration of institutions responsible for DRR and CCA, particularly
