This issue brief explains how development failures and the consequences of climate change are increasing the likelihood of disasters in the mountains, and considers the priorities of the Sendai Framework in light of mountain hazards.

Unplanned development and inadequate investment in basic services, coupled with the impacts of climate change, is exacerbating inequity and environmental degradation, making Nepal highly susceptible to climate hazards such as flooding and landslides.

IRP Herald Volume 33 is the knowledge report for the International Recovery Forum 2022: Redesigning Systems for Resilience through Recovery: Assessing Progress and the Unfinished Agenda at the Midpoint of the Sendai Framework.

This brief shares learning from a project supporting the construction of earthquake-resilient schools in Nepal, which involved rebuilding smartly to promote inclusion and community resilience.

The report documents recent disastrous events which caused massive loss of lives and properties in Nepal.

This study examines how unexpected change in national DRR policy regimes was enabled under such adverse circumstances and exploring the appropriateness of theoretical assumptions suggesting aspects that warrant more testing in future.

This study discusses four types of situations where successful DRM interventions are made invisible and propose an analysis to calculate the ‘probabilistic lives saved’ from disaster risk management interventions, that would otherwise remain unnoticed.
