The Cambridge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction and International Law by Katja

Description: The Cambridge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction and International Law by Katja L.H. Samuel, Marie Aronsson-Storrier, Kirsten Nakjavani Bookmiller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This unique, timely Handbook is framed around the Sendai Framework, the globally agreed upon roadmap for disaster risk mitigation. Examining the development of previously under-researched disaster risk reduction law, it is expected to be a primary source of reference for years to come, including informing related law, policy and practice. Publisher Description The number, intensity, and impact of diverse forms of natural and human-made disasters are increasing. In response, the international community has shifted its primary focus away from disaster response to prevention and improved preparedness. The current globally agreed upon roadmap is the ambitious Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, central to which is the better understanding of disaster risk management and mitigation. Sendai also urges innovative implementation, especially multi-sectoral and multi-hazard coherence. Yet the law sector itself remains relatively under-developed, including a paucity of supporting DRR law scholarship and minimal cross-sectoral engagement. Commonly, this is attributable to limited understanding by other sectors about laws dynamic potential as a tool of disaster risk mitigation, despite the availability of many risk-related norms across a broad spectrum of legal regimes. This unique, timely Handbook brings together global and multi-sector perspectives on one of the most pressing policy issues of our time.
