Advances and challenges in DRR investment and financing
Purpose This article aims to synthesize expert analyses on progress, challenges and innovations in disaster risk reduction (DRR) financing and investment since the Hyogo Framework (HF) (2005–2015). It highlights systemic barriers, emerging strategies and lessons for policymakers. Design/methodology/approach Contributions from nine DRR experts are analysed, focusing on historical trends, case studies (e.g. Kenya’s FLLoCA Program) and empirical dat…
DRR pioneers interview with Andrew Maskrey and Allan Lavell
Purpose The interview traces the early discussions in the context of disasters as developmental failures. Design/methodology/approach The transcript and video was developed in the context of a United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) project on the history of DRR. Findings The interview traces the development of disaster risk reduction discussions in different contexts such as “LA RED” network in Latin America. Originality/value …
The social construction of systemic risk
Purpose This paper explores the building blocks of risk governance systems that are equipped to manage systemic risk in the 21st century. Whilst approaches to risk governance have been evolving for more than a decade, recent disasters have shown that conventional risk management solutions need to be complemented with a multidimensional risk approach to govern complex risks and prevent major, often simultaneous, crises with cascading and knock-on …
The future of disaster risk management
The present perspective summarizes and projects the results of a two-day workshop held in 2013 with the presence of 21 known disaster risk specialists from academia and practice. Faced with the disconnect between ever-increasing and even-accelerating disaster losses and the declared progress in disaster risk management (DRM) practice over the last eight years, the document attempts to explain the current situation and project future needs in orde…
Revisiting community-based disaster risk management
This paper examines whether the hypothesis presented in Ocho Rios in 1984 is still valid and relevant. The first part of the paper revisits the central tenets of the 1984 paper. The second part of the paper gives a broad overview of how community-based approaches have been taken up and evolved over the last quarter-century. The third part of the paper examines, with the benefit of hindsight, to what extent the approaches advocated in Ocho Rios ar…
From everyday hazards to disasters
Many disasters take place in urban areas, affecting millions of people each year through loss of life, serious injury and loss of assets and livelihoods. Poorer groups are generally most affected. The impact of these disasters and their contribution to poverty are underestimated, as is the extent to which rapidly growing and poorly managed urban development increases the risks. But urban specialists do not see disasters and disaster prevention as…
