Some of the challenges to Linking Livelihoods and DRR

Some of the challenges to linking livelihoods and DRR are:

A lack of evidence to demonstrate the long-term benefits of investing in preparedness to protect livelihoods.

Many approaches and methodologies have been developed for rural areas and wrongly translated to urban settings.

It is important to consider how women, youth, the elderly or the disabled are affected, and what their livelihoods strategies are.

Current DRR programming sometimes focuses on natural hazards and does not properly consider poverty or conflict.
