Disaster Risk Management

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) requires an inclusive, preventive approach integrating climate adaptation and sustainable development. The Sendai Framework (2015-2030) and SDGs emphasize multi-stakeholder engagement, particularly with vulnerable groups, to build resilience. Evidence shows disasters disproportionately impact poverty-stricken regions, with economic losses undermining development gains. Successful cases like India's cyclone preparedness demonstrate proactive DRR's life-saving potential, while Nepal's 2015 earthquake highlights persistent vulnerabilities. Effective strategies demand risk-informed investments, early warning systems, and "Build Back Better" principles integrated into development planning. Despite progress, insufficient funding for prevention remains a challenge. A paradigm shift toward pre-disaster mitigation is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals.
