👉 As the SFDRR enters its final phase, future efforts must prioritize cross-sectoral approaches that integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) principles in immediate relief and long-term development to enhance resilience and mitigate future risks.

👉 Humanitarianism and disaster-related actions share overlapping goals and actions, but oftenly differ in funding, frameworks, and focus, necessitating clearer collaborative efforts. Greater alignment between humanitarian and disaster actors are essential for an effective disaster response

👉 The SFDRR presents limited consideration of, and application in, conflict-affected scenarios. This hinders efforts to address the political aspects of disaster-related actions and prevents effective disaster response and risk reduction in fragile, conflict-affected, and vulnerable (FCV) scenarios

Some Key Takeaways:

👉 Despite frequent citation, the SFDRR is superficially integrated into humanitarian action in practice. When it is considered, it is primarily in post-disaster contexts, in Disaster Response Law and, more recently, in relation to anticipatory humanitarian action.

Congratulations! Such a important topic. Looking forward to reading it; and yes, X is not what Twitter was. Would Bluesky or other platforms be able to play that role? I'm sure people will find spaces for activism and advocacy, but to be seen where that will take place.

Hi everyone! New here to share and discuss disaster risk reduction (especially in fragile, conflict-affected, and vulnerable (FCV) settings), climate change, humanitarian action, the triple humanitarian-development-peace nexus, and research ethics, safety, and security. Let’s connect and exchange.
