Series description

Community, Environment and Disaster Risk Management deals with a wide range of issues relating to global environmental hazards, natural and man-made disasters, 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.

The series is built on field evidence and community practices, and provides specific tools and guiding frameworks with appropriate academic analysis. This series is the long-awaited missing link between academic research and field practice in the environment and disaster management field.
