Information Page

 Community, Environment and Disaster Risk Management deals with a wide range of issues relating to global environment and approaches to disaster risk reduction. As people and communities are the first and the most important responders to disasters and environment-related problems, this series aims to analyse critical field-based mechanisms which link community, policy and governance systems.
