The workshop on Disaster Risks Management (DRAM) and climate change took place in Junik, on 2 March 2010 as part of the process of drafting the Junik Municipal Development Plan (MDP). This workshop involved professional staff from the Municipality of Junik and Municipal Spatial Planning Programme representatives, who were the workshop facilitators. 

The main aims of the workshop were to discuss DRAM issues and the development of possible projects/proposals in this field to be used as an input to the MDP. The workshop, focused on climate change and its impact on the spatial development. The participants discussed also a need for awareness campaign and activities to remedy existing risks.

The DRAM issues and objectives identified in the MDP profile were discussed, revised and risk areas mapped. It was noted that the identified actions not only related to issues such as tree logging, erosion, land slides, flooding and man-kind activities causing risks in the event of earthquakes and fires, but they also focused on organisational and legal aspects.

The workshop was characterized by a good working atmosphere and enthusiasm of municipal representatives in providing the expected results and follow up tasks.
