Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE)

The Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE) integrates human rights-based approaches (HRBA) and gender equality principles into disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). Developed through international standards and feminist political ecology, FIRE is intended for state and non-state actors across various governance levels to improve risk assessment, land-use planning, and emergency preparedness.

• The Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE) is a transdisciplinary tool that creates synergies between gender equality and human rights-based approaches (HRBA) specifically for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR).
• While the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction list gender equality and human rights as guiding principles, they do not provide detailed substance on how to integrate these approaches for transformative results.
• FIRE is designed for use by state and non-state actors at national and sub-national governance levels to improve sustainable development, DRR, and CCA operations, including emergency preparedness and risk-sensitive land-use planning.
