Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is one of six focus areas of Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA). The Jakarta Concord, signed by the IORA member states, includes specific objectives aimed to further strengthen DRM within the region. In particular, paragraph 16(d) of the Jakarta Concord brings two international policy frameworks within the realm of IORA’s focus to address DRM: the Paris Agreement, adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which calls for Parties to the agreement to enhance their understanding, action and support to the loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Sendai Framework), which sets out seven global targets aimed at the reduction of disaster risk and losses. Since its entry into force, the UNFCCC has adopted various binding decisions that address the adverse effects of climate change, including more frequent and severe disasters. The aim of this paper is to determine whether or not there are grounds for collaboration between the IORA and the UNFCCC to further enhance and strengthen DRM within the Indian Ocean Rim region. In doing so this paper identifies collaboration with the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM) as a theme of common interest to all the IORA countries. It also provides specific recommendations that will benefit all the IORA countries. Furthermore, it also leaves room for the IORA countries to conduct additional DRM research and agenda setting at a national level. It is argued that collectively these international frameworks form the basis for cooperation between the WIM and IORA, including sharing knowledge and building further capacity within the region to enhance and strengthen DRM.

IORA 和灾害风险管理：促进与现有国际机构的合作

灾害风险管理 (DRM) 是环印度洋协会 (IORA) 的六个重点领域之一。由 IORA 成员国签署的雅加达协议包括旨在进一步加强该地区 DRM 的具体目标。尤其是，雅加达协议第 16(d) 段在 IORA 的重点领域内引入了两个国际政策框架，以解决 DRM：根据联合国气候变化框架公约（UNFCCC）通过的巴黎协定，该协定呼吁缔约方加强他们对与气候变化不利影响相关的损失和损害的理解、行动和支持的协议，以及仙台减少灾害风险框架（仙台框架），其中列出了旨在减少灾害风险的七个全球目标和损失。自生效以来，UNFCCC 通过了各种具有约束力的决定，以解决气候变化的不利影响，包括更频繁和更严重的灾害。本文的目的是确定 IORA 和 UNFCCC 之间是否有合作的理由，以进一步加强和加强环印度洋地区的 DRM。为此，本文将与华沙国际损失和损害机制 (WIM) 执行委员会的合作确定为所有 IORA 国家共同关心的主题。它还提供了将使所有 IORA 国家受益的具体建议。此外，它还为 IORA 国家在国家层面进行额外的 DRM 研究和议程设置留下了空间。
