GCRF Resilience to Coupled Human-Natural Multi-hazards Network

该网络将侧重于评估和提高城市边缘地区日益脆弱的人口对自然-人类危害的复原力的需求和能力，特别是在越南和更广泛的东南亚地区。重点针对GCRF的挑战“对环境冲击和变化的适应能力”，并直接支持SDG 11(可持续社区和城市)内的关键可持续发展目标和实施仙台减少灾害风险框架(DRR)。该网络将处理具体目标11.5和11.B，这两个具体目标分别涉及需要在保护弱势人口的同时大幅减少灾害造成的生命和生计损失，大幅增加城市和人类住区采取和执行综合政策和计划以减轻和适应气候变化、应对灾害的能力，以及在各级制定和实施全面的灾害风险管理。在可持续发展目标13.1(气候变化及其影响)中也出现了类似的挑战。自然-人类双重危害发生的环境以及受危险事件影响的人和机构构成了一个复杂的物理和社会系统，其特点是在一系列时间和空间尺度上相互作用。了解如何提高系统对不利事件的弹性意味着将所有既得利益群体同时纳入同一张桌子。这一战略使网络成员既可以了解彼此的观点、方法和语言，了解和揭示假设，并生成复原力计划或框架的共同表述。我们将通过发展网络群体来实现这一点，其中包括：研究人员、决策者和政策制定者、管理者(土地使用、灾难等)、规划者(城市、农村等)、社区领导人(特别是少数群体和历史上代表性不足的社区)、开发商(私营部门)、投资银行、再保险、中小型企业(SME)和DRR专家。在“研究人员”中，我们包括复杂系统、环境历史分析、文化政策、社会经济过程、行为科学、心理视觉艺术、生态系统服务、环境物理科学等领域。学科的这种结合使我们能够跨越弱势群体和负责管理自然灾害的机构--尤其是负责表面上无害问题的机构(例如能源、工业发展等)--的文化背景。要审查的长期时间尺度与广泛的利益攸关方相结合，将使我们能够审查文化和政策的作用以及在经济发展需要中明显的权衡。该网络将主要通过研究人员和利益攸关方的整合以及通过我们在最初和承诺的成员中展示的非典型的广泛研究学科来增加现有知识的价值。我们将通过三个讲习班(和相关活动)实现我们的目标。第一次将对选定的灾害进行法医检查，作为第二次重要讲习班的背景，使网络成员能够有效地向其他成员传授他们的观点、方法、语言和假设。第三期讲习班将向东南亚有关城市的高层决策者介绍一份综合报告(阐明共同复原力办法或计划的路线图)。

The Network will focus on the need and ability to evaluate and increase the resilience to natural-human hazards of increasingly vulnerable populations in the hyper-expanding margins of cities, specifically in Vietnam and more generally in SE Asia. The focus is aimed at the GCRF challenge "resilience to environmental shocks and change", and directly supports key SDG targets within SDG 11 (Sustainable Communities and Cities) and the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The Network will tackle specific targets 11.5 and 11.B, which respectively address the need to significantly reduce the loss of lives and livelihoods caused by disasters while protecting vulnerable populations, and substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and to develop and implement holistic disaster risk management at all levels. Similar challenges arise in SDG 13.1 (climate change and its impacts).The environment within which coupled natural-human hazards occur and the people and institutions that are impacted by hazardous events comprise a complex physical and social system characterized by interactions across a range of time and spatial scales. Understanding how to increase the system resilience to adverse events means bringing all vested groups to the same table at the same time. This strategy allows Network members to both inform be informed about each other's perspectives, methodologies, and language, to understand and reveal assumptions and to generate a common articulation of a resilience plan or framework.We will do this by developing a Network constituency that includes: researchers, decision and policy makers, managers (land-use, disaster, etc.), planners (city, rural, etc.), community leaders (particularly minority and historically under-represented communities), developers (private sector), investment banks, re/insurance, small and medium business enterprises (SMEs), and DRR specialists. And within "researchers", we include the fields of complex systems, environmental historical analysis, cultural policy, socio-economic processes, behavioural sciences, psycho-visual arts, ecosystem services, environmental physical science, etc. This marriage of disciplines allows us to cross cultural contexts in both the vulnerable population and in the institutions that have responsibility for the management of natural hazards and - significantly - institutions responsible for ostensibly non-hazard issues (e.g. energy, industrial development, etc.). The long time-scales to be examined combined with the broad range of stakeholders will enable us to examine the role of culture and policy and trade-offs evident in the need for economic development.The Network will add value to existing knowledge largely through the integration of researchers and stakeholders and through the atypically broad church of research disciplines to be engaged, which we demonstrate in the initial and committed membership. We will deliver our objectives through three workshops (and related activities). The first will provide a forensic examination of selected disasters that will serve as the context of the second critical workshop that allows Network members to effectively teach other members about their perspectives, methodologies, language and assumptions. A third workshop will present a synthesis (a road-map that articulates a common resilience approach or plan) to high-level decision makers from relevant cities in SE Asia.
