Consultation version 2006
The booklet explains a few key concepts on the basis of an apriori understanding of how climate change and disaster risk reduction knowledge and practices have evolved and presently interact with each other.

The selection of key concepts discussed in this booklet include:
- Vulnerability
- Risk and Disaster Risk Reduction
- Risk Assessment and Climate Change Impact Assessment
- Mitigation
- Adaptation, Adaptive Capacity and Coping Capacity
