Dialogues for Disaster Anticipation and Resilience

Scientific learning and technological innovation hold tremendous opportunities for strengthening capacities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to future crises. Yet unlocking this disaster risk reduction potential remains dependent on developing approaches which support effective dialogue between ‘those who make science’ and ‘those who use science to make decisions’. Only through sustained two-way dialogue will those with ‘humanitarian’ responsibilities know what questions to ask of emerging science and technology, and those with scientific and technical expertise be able to understand how their learning can better inform specific humanitarian decision making processes and contexts.

This collation is designed as a toolkit and practical guide to share emerging learning about those approaches which can support effective dialogue and appropriate application of scientific and technological learning to promote resilience to a range of potential future risks.

The case studies can be searched by dialogue process, risk type and scientific disclipline.
