Asia and the Pacific is the region most affected by natural disasters which hit hardest at the poorest countries and communities.

In 2016 the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) commissioned the development of guidelines on national disaster risk assessment (NDRA) as part of a series of thematic guidelines under its “Words into Action” initiative to support national implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

This report presents an Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) of vulnerability to food insecurity and natural hazards in Pakistan, based on existing datasets to identify and rank districts by the level of these risks.

The adoption of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Change Agreement, all in 2015, highlights the strength of international commitment behind climate compatible development.
