本期《环境危害》对将减灾与发展联系起来的一些突出挑战和机遇进行了批判性的审视。长期以来公认的灾害与发展之间的关系继续要求更彻底地了解其性质和不断变化的背景。例如,综合问题包括健康危机、环境退化、社会贫困或气候变化的影响。这些问题在灾难和发展方面的理解和表现方式影响着全球经济的适应、实践社区和个人的生存能力。虽然灾害与发展相结合的思维通过全球论坛得到了更多的认可和制度化,但越来越多的世界危机等待着能够向可持续性过渡的新思想。预期更适当的发展将减少环境、经济和社会灾害的发生率,减少灾害风险提供了一个共同和具有成本效益的途径。然而,虽然所需的进程可能是比以前更容易看到的机会,但适当规模的行动仍然严重不足。这篇社论概述指出,需要更多地关注将灾害意识和发展意识结合起来并深入应用的需求和特殊性。这里提出的问题主要基于经验推导的研究结果和现场经验,并辅以伴随该领域的理论驱动因素。在指示性文献样本之后是建议的关键行动领域,这些领域也反映了作为选定挑战的全球困境。概念上的、背景上的和实际的问题和机会都是为本版选择的一系列论文的例证。这些论文涵盖了通过与减灾和发展相关的研究、实践和政策提出的问题,强调了不断超越现状的必要性。这篇社论指出,机会一方面在于整合科学、技术和以人为中心的行动的知识,另一方面在于现在投资于已经揭示的更安全未来的手段。这个版本之所以存在,是因为把灾难的概念与发展的概念结合起来具有直接的现实意义。生存能力的解决方案可以由政治意愿、个人行为、知识和技术等激励因素推动。然而,与普遍的代表性相反,综合灾害与发展行动的概念和应用仍然处于初级阶段,需要更创新和激进的办法来解决。
This edition of Environmental Hazards provides a critical look at some of the salient challenges and opportunities in linking disaster reduction and development. The long recognised relationship between disasters and development continues to demand more thorough understanding of its nature and changing contexts. Example integrated issues include health crises, environmental degradation, social impoverishment or the effects of climate change to name some. The way these are understood and represented in disaster and development terms influences the adaptation of global economies, communities of practice and individual survivability. Whilst combined disaster and development thinking becomes more acknowledged and institutionalised through global forums, mounting world crises await the new ideas that can deliver transitions to sustainability. It is anticipated that more appropriate development would reduce incidence of environmental, economic and social disaster with disaster risk reduction providing a common and cost effective pathway. However, whilst the processes required may be opportunities more in sight than previous, actions to appropriate scale remain woefully inadequate. This editorial overview flags the need for greater attention to the demands and particularities of applying disaster and development awareness together and in depth. The issues raised here are largely based on empirically derived research findings and field experiences complimented by theoretical drivers that accompany the field. A sample of indicative literature is followed by suggested key action areas that also reflect global predicaments as selected challenges. Conceptual, contextual and practical issues and opportunities are exemplified by the series of papers selected for the edition. Together these papers span questions raised through research, practice and policy linked to disaster reduction and development that emphasise the recurring need to move beyond the current status quo. The editorial identifies that opportunities lie on the one hand in knowledge for integration of science, technology and people centred actions whilst on the other by investing now in the means to safer futures already revealed. The edition exists because combining concepts of disaster with those of development is of immediate practical importance. Solutions to survivability can be driven by motivators of political will, individual behaviour, knowledge and technology. However, contrary to popular representation, both concept and application of integrated disaster and development action remains in its infancy requiring more innovative and radical approaches to unravel.
