Know Disasters magazine: July - August 2021

This edition brings articles from practitioners in the field of disaster management and around the theme of extreme weather events. This issue will help readers in elevating their knowledge of disaster risk reduction (DRR). Know Disasters Magazine is committed to making disasters everyone’s business.

Extreme weather events, associated disasters and emergent risks are becoming increasingly critical in the context of global environmental change. Oftentimes, these intersect, interact and also overlap with other stressors. They are a potential major threat to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are one of the most pressing challenges to human well-being in future. Therefore, mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into every aspect and dimension of the developmental process has become the need of the hours.
