全球范围内的灾难影响正在增加。与此同时，尽管作出了有意识的能力发展努力，但许多发展中国家的灾害风险管理能力仍然很低。除了人类的痛苦和痛苦外，这种能力陷阱情况还影响到一个国家的经济和社会发展潜力，将其推入滞后的发展轨道。本章介绍了本书的中心主题，举例说明了尽管各国政府和国际开发机构有意识地进行能力发展，但一些发展中国家仍面临能力陷阱的情况。本章首先概述了世界范围内不断上升的灾害影响，然后是通常为预防和准备灾害而实施的能力发展方案，以及这些方案大多无法发展有效的能力。本章结合各国面临反复发生的灾害和不断增加的灾害影响的例子，提出了许多关键问题，主要是在发展中国家的背景下，讨论与灾害风险管理的能力建设相关的挑战。这一章概述了本书是如何组织的，以及本章中提出的各种问题的解决方案是如何在剩余的书中探索的。
Disaster impacts are increasing globally. At the same time, disaster risk management capacity remains low in many developing countries despite conscious capacity development efforts. Apart from human agony and pain, thiscapability trapsituation affects a country’s economic and social development potential, pushing it into a lagged developmental trajectory. This chapter introduces the central theme of this book, illustrating with examples how some developing countries are facing capability trap situation in spite of conscious capacity development efforts by governments and international development agencies. The chapter starts with an overview of rising disaster impacts worldwide followed by the kind of capacity development programs usually undertaken to prevent and prepare for disasters and how these programs are mostly unable to develop effective capacity. With examples from various countries facing recurrent disasters and rising disaster impacts, this chapter raises many critical questions to discuss challenges associated with capacity development in disaster risk management, primarily in a developing country context. The chapter provides an overview of how the book is organized and how solutions to various questions, which are raised in this chapter, are explored in the remaining book.
