Invited perspectives: Building sustainable and resilient communities – recommended actions for natural hazard scientists

Abstract. Reducing disaster risk is critical to securing the ambitions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and natural hazard scientists make a key contribution achieving this aim. Understanding Earth processes dynamics underpins analysis, which (alongside analysis other drivers) informs actions required manage reduce risk. Here we suggest how research can better contribute planning development sustainable resilient communities through improved engagement in reduction (DRR). Building on existing good practice, perspective piece aims provoke discussion science community about strengthen our DRR. We set out seven recommendations for enhancing integration into DRR: (i) characterise multi-hazard environments; (ii) prioritise effective, positive, long-term partnerships; (iii) understand listen your stakeholders; (iv) embed cultural understanding research; (v) ensure equitable access information; (vi) champion people-centred DRR (leaving no one behind); (vii) improve links between development. then proceed synthesise that funders should consider taking education, training, design institutional, financial, policy actions. these help effective application By recognising steps address issues raised recommendations, propose more effectively inter-/transdisciplinary, integrated work
