NH11C:
Science for Disaster Risk Reduction: From Integrated Research and Assessment of Risks to Communication and Engagements I


Session ID#: 11006

Session Description:
Reducing disaster risk becomes a foundation for sustainable development, especially in increasing the disaster resilience of communities. Although considerable progress has been made in loss reduction due to specific natural hazards and by some countries, risk is evolving and growing. Our knowledge on extreme natural hazards and their interaction with society is lacking in some important areas. Disaster risks can be reduced by the efforts of disaster science community working in an integrated and co-productive way through transdisciplinary approaches aiming at in-depth investigations using a system analysis and at recommendations for actions to reduce risks and to improve resilience of society. This Union-wide session will present views on scientific needs and inputs into disaster risk science attracting experts in natural and social sciences and other stakeholders, and will highlight the important trends in managing disaster risk as a cross-cutting theme in policy and practice related to climate change and sustainability.
