About
If hazards become disasters through decisions about land, housing, infrastructure and legal status, then those decisions have a pattern. Some people are protected by them. Some are not.
Understanding that pattern is what inclusive DRR does. Naming those causes it is what #NoNaturalDisasters does.
This event will cover:
- What #NoNaturalDisasters actually claims, and where the argument comes from
- What inclusive DRR means in practice
- Where they meet
- Why it's important
- How to use these arguments in your studies, research or work.
