Adaptive Governance and Technology for Sustainable Development and Disaster Risk Reduction: A Catalyst for Relational Transformation
  • Investment in climate-informed technologies and modern Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) solutions are imperative for developing resilience against unprecedented natural calamities.
  • The most important part of DRR is early warning. There is a need for installing automatic mobile radar systems in disaster-prone areas for more accurate early warning to ensure the safety of the local communities and their livelihoods. 
  • There is a need to take a multistakeholder transdisciplinary approach to address risk governance, assessment, communication, investment, and resilience. 
  • Mass sensitisation on climate extreme events and DRR is needed as there is limited media reporting on such issues.
