Advisory and research support includes risk mapping, scenario analysis, stakeholder coordination, and guidance for integrating DRM principles into programmes, urban planning, or rural development strategies.

Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) advisory helps organisations identify vulnerabilities, assess adaptation options, and develop strategies that increase resilience at community, organisational, or ecosystem levels. Support may include research-informed adaptation planning, risk and vulnerability assessments, and guidance on integrating climate resilience into existing initiatives.

Engagements across these thematic areas may involve strategic advisory, research outputs, knowledge mobilisation, and collaborative workshops.
