TERMINOLOGIES
The module on DRRM and CC Terminologies presents the definitions according to the
Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, the 2017 UNISDR Terminology on
Disaster Risk Reduction, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These terminologies will help the
school personnel in formulating DRRM-CCAM (i.e. climate change adaptation and mitigation) plans for
their respective schools.
Some of the most important definitions in DRRM and CC are listed in the chart below. Most
of these definitions can also be found in the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SDRRM)
Manual of the Department of Education (DepEd).
