Inclusion

This study examines the climate change and urban health vulnerability of suburban Pralab, Khon Kaen City, in the northeast of Thailand. One of the principal findings of the paper is that the urbanisation of Khon Kaen has led to profound physical and socio

This brochure summarises the ACAP approach (Accessibility, Communication, Attitude, Participation), successfully applied to support Inclusive Community-Based DRR programming in Nepal.

National displacement from sea level rise is projected to reach 13 million people by 2100. Yet attempts at long-term solutions have been regressive - the National Disaster Resilience Competition risks replicating existing structures of social inequity by forcing communities to compete to access water, food and shelter, thereby refusing to recognize these as human rights.

In the coming decades, heat waves will be longer, more frequent and more intense. Those most at risk are often the more vulnerable people who live in cities. As they work to adapt to more frequent or intense heat waves, US city leaders and emergency responders across the country are trying to figure out not only how to keep people safe, but how to cool their urban cores.

“Stop Disasters” is a UNISDR disaster simulation game for children, who are asked to plan a safe environment - an often overlooked role for this population. The aim of introducing disaster risk reduction and climate friendly curriculum is not only to train children, but also to introduce behavior change in next generations to act responsibly and environmentally friendly.

In step with many international aid agencies, the United Methodist Committee on Relief is putting significant effort into disaster risk reduction, even as it pursues its mission of alleviating suffering caused by disasters. The agency recently supported a three-day in-depth training in three vulnerable areas, aimed at ensuring a hazard does not become a deadly disaster.
