Research highlights

▶ This paper introduces the key policy documents which internationally guides disaster risk reduction policies and interventions. ▶ Investing in disaster risk reduction is a means for adapting to climate change, while contributing to sustainable development and poverty reduction. ▶ Promoting dialogue between the scientific community and policy makers is of paramount importance to increase the effectiveness of climate adaptation and risk reduction policies and intervention.

  12. Perspectives on social capacity building for natural hazards: outlining an emerging field of research and practice in Europe   Original Research Article

Pages 804-814
Christian Kuhlicke, Annett Steinführer, Chloe Begg, Chiara Bianchizza, Michael Bründl, Matthias Buchecker, Bruna De Marchi, Marina Di Masso Tarditti, Corina Höppner, Blaž Komac, Louis Lemkow, Jochen Luther, Simon McCarthy, Luigi Pellizzoni, Ortwin Renn, Anna Scolobig, Meera Supramaniam, Sue Tapsell, Gisela Wachinger, Gordon Walker, Rebecca Whittle, Matija Zorn, Hazel Faulkner

Highlights

► While capacity building is a term increasingly used within policies, it is yet to evolve in scientific discourses. ► We define different types of capacity and then propose to distinguish between interventionist and participatory approaches. ► This framework is used to elaborate links to the topics of social vulnerability, risk communication and education as well as risk governance.
