Creating resilient futures: integrating disaster risk reduction, Sustainable Development Goals and climate change adaptation agendas
Creating resilient futures: integrating disaster risk reduction, Sustainable Development Goals and climate change adaptation agendas
This book aims to address the gap between interrelated policy agendas that have the potential to identify and reduce systematic risks, promote sustainable development and significantly affect the future of humanity. The theoretical perspectives emerging from empirical evidence of this integration call for greater attention in the international literature. This book aims to provide a carefully considered exposition and analysis of the practical basis, as well as limitations, of such an integration project, drawing on examples of both existing and potential integration between the three agendas: the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, the Paris Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the UN’s 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
