The objective of the meeting was to discuss the theme, structure, and delivery of courses, based on the strengths and capacities of each partner institution. We deeply appreciate the participation of all faculty members and look forward to the next meeting in October.
Transdisciplinary Strategies for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience
This course emphasised the considerable advances many countries have made in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Resilience since the adoption of the Sendai framework (2015-2030), but also emphasised the differential impact of disasters on low-income countries, geographically vulnerable countries and on women and children as well as various disadvantaged groups.
