FIRE: A framework for integrating human rights and gender equality in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation | SEI

This research paper introduces the Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE), a transdisciplinary tool designed to combine human rights-based approaches (HRBA) and gender equality principles within disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA).

• The Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE) is a transdisciplinary framework that creates synergies between gender equality and human rights-based approaches (HRBA) to improve outcomes in 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 these approaches or instructions on how to integrate them for transformative results.
• FIRE is primarily intended for state actors and can be implemented by both state and non-state actors across various governance levels, from national to sub-national. It is informed by feminist political ecology and international standards to improve operations such as emergency preparedness, risk-sensitive land-use planning, and risk assessment.
