This brief discusses key policy issues related to natural hazards and disaster risk reduction (DRR) within the region of China's Belt and Road (B&R) initiative. It outlines existing DRR cooperation in the B&R region, particularly through the ASEAN and other sub-regional mechanisms, and the role of international organisations in promoting DRR cooperation. The brief further describes China's efforts to promote DRR in the region and offers recommendations on achieving long-term vulnerability reduction and the strengthening of people’s capacities in facing natural hazards.
