Understanding Disaster Risk: A Multidimensional Approach presents
the first principle from the UNISDR Sendai Framework for Disaster
Risk Reduction, 2015-2030. The framework includes a discussion of
risk and resilience from both a theoretical and governance
perspective in light of ideas that are shaping our common future.
In addition, it presents innovative tools and best practices in
reducing risk and building resilience. Combining the applications
of social, financial, technological, design, engineering and
nature-based approaches, the volume addresses rising global
priorities and focuses on strengthening the global understanding of
vulnerability, displaced communities, cultural heritages and
cultural identity. Readers will gain a multifaceted understanding
of disaster, addressing both historic and contemporary issues.
Focusing on the various dimensions of disaster risk, the book
details natural and social components of risk and the challenges
posed to risk assessment models under the climate change paradigm.
