Abstract : This paper checks the literature on the political economy of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate policy. It starts by highlighting the need for a better understanding of the political economy of DRR and climate policy in order to design and implement effective policies. It then reviews the existing literature on the political economy of DRR and climate policy, identifying the factors that have been found to influence the design, implementation, and outcomes of DRR and climate policy. Finally, it concludes the implications of this review for future research and policy. The paper argues that further research is needed to improve our understanding of the political economy of DRR and climate policy, and to inform the development of effective policies.
