We are kindly inviting you to submit your papers for the Special Issue Building Resilience: Sustainable Approaches in Disaster Management for the journal Sustainability MDPI (Q1). Please see the detailed information below:
The world has reached the halfway point of the post-2015 development agendas. Despite progress in planning and implementing initiatives for disaster risk reduction, the current trends of local and global hazards, along with unexpectedly frequent and intensified climatic events, have presented significant challenges in translating the global frameworks into local initiatives that are sustainable and meaningful for the most vulnerable populations. This special issue of Sustainability seeks to bridge the gap between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and sustainability in the discourse and implementation of disaster prevention and response. Authors are invited to reconsider the impact of policies, initiatives, projects, and other efforts aimed at building resilience by focusing on their sustainability over time, their impacts on communities and stakeholders, localising the global frameworks, and identifying gaps beyond the post-2030 global agendas. Original research articles and rev! iews are welcome.
Specific Research areas proposed Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: - Sustainability and Disaster Risk Reduction nexus in theory, policy and practice - Localising global agendas for building resilience - Middle-term to long-term impact of DRR policies and action - Long-impact of humanitarian aid in disaster recovery - Disaster Governance, social, political, and economic Dimensions - Impacts on the built environment and beyond such as livelihoods, health and education.
Please notice that the deadline for submissions is on February 28, 2025.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
