Opis

This book presents selected papers by the keynote speakers and other presenters from various disciplines and includes their opinions and evaluations. The Fourth Global Summit of Research Institutes for Disaster Risk Reduction (4th GSRIDRR, 2019): Increasing the Effectiveness and Relevance of our Institutes, sponsored by the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) and Kyoto University, was hosted by and held at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Uji Campus, Kyoto, Japan, 13–15 March 2019..

The Global Summit series provided a platform for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and other stakeholders in both government and non-governmental institutes involved in disaster risk reduction and resilience to come together to discuss, share, and exchange ideas. It focuses specifically on contributing input to the contextualization and revision of the goals of the 2016 Science and Technology Roadmap to implementation of the Priority Areas of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction Agenda 2015–2030, with input for GADRI to move forward in its contributions to the worldwide science community. 

The conference comprised an impressive array of global stakeholders whose expertise and experience encompassed the management of knowledge and its application for governments and industries, with shared outcomes to bridge science and decision making. It enhanced a process to confront new scientific challenges in disaster risk reduction and disaster risk management.

The conference accomplished the following major goals, among others: (1) engagement in dialogue on issues related to disaster prevention and contributions to the Science and Technology Roadmap adopted to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework Agenda 2015–2030; (2) evaluation of current efforts on global and national involvement in the field of disaster prevention research in relation to the implementation of the Priority Areas of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030; (3) assessment of the status of current research knowledge and efforts, and research results at the institutional level in each country.

O autorze

Professor Hirokazu Tatano is a vice-director of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, and the head of the Research Division of Disaster Management for Safe and Secure Society. In addition, he has served as the vice-president of the International Society of Integrated Disaster Risk Management (IDRiM Society) since 2010, and as the Secretary-General of the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) since 2015. He has carried out pioneering research on an economic consequence analysis with a major focus on economic resilience to natural disasters at the levels of individual businesses, markets, and regional economies. Another research focus is methodologies for integrated disaster risk management and governance. Through these academic activities, he wishes to contribute to establishing “implementation science” as a key area of science for disaster risk reduction.

Professor Andrew Collins is the leader of the Disaster and Development Network, Northumbria University, UK, and is a professor in Disaster and Development and subject head of Human Geography, Policy and Development in the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Northumbria University. He represents many disaster and development-related initiatives internationally. He led the establishment of the world’s first disaster management and sustainable development postgraduate programme launched in 2000 and the Disaster and Development Network (DDN) launched in 2004. Prior to his academic appointments, he went through the international voluntary sector. He has been elected as the first Chair of the Board of Directors of GADRI between 2016 and 2020 and of the United Kingdom Alliance for Disaster Research from 2016 until the present.
