About this Research Topic
We call for submissions of Original Research Articles, but also Comprehensive Reviews that recognize knowledge gaps, strengths, and priorities to build risk-informed decision-making and practice. We are interested in articles documenting collaborative multi-stakeholder efforts to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR). Of particular relevance will be Earth science research contributions that address, preferable, but not exclusively, the four priorities of the SFDRR: 1) Understanding Disaster Risk; 2) Disaster Risk Governance; 3) Invest in Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience; and 4) Enhance disaster preparedness for effective response and to Build Back Better.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
1) Earth science research applied to Disaster Risk Reduction and Management;
2) Multi, inter and transdisciplinary efforts oriented to Disaster Risk Management;
3) Practical research studies on Disaster Risk Reduction;
4) Implementation of effective science-based disaster risk policies and practices;
5) Obstacles to inform Disaster Risk Management;
6) Effective scientific approaches to risk reduction;
7) Improving decision-making in the context of geohazards and disaster risk;
8) Disaster risk research from systemic and multi-risk perspectives;
9) Multi-hazards and Early Warning Systems: policy formulation and practice;
10) Translation, communication and use of knowledge on disaster risk reduction.
Keywords: Policy Making, Integrated Disaster Risk Research, Disaster Risk Management, Disaster Risk Reduction, transdisciplinary approaches
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
