Peer Learning Session 3: Collaborating to Develop Risk Information Including Community Perspectives

This session discussed a better-shared understanding of the value of collaborating to develop risk information to improve the relevance of insights being developed by learning from local expert perspectives. This understanding covered the importance of in-country experts engaging and inclusion of perspectives from local communities and civil society groups, on hazards, assets, and vulnerability in risk assessment projects to improve the relevance and impact of risk information for decision-making. The session speakers discussed the challenges and opportunities for bringing community perspectives into risk assessment to inform and facilitate the participation of civil society actors to later also engage in succession planning and adaptation.
