摘要：Reducing disaster risk is critical to securing theambitions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and natural hazardscientists make a key contribution to achieving this aim. UnderstandingEarth processes and dynamics underpins hazard analysis, which (alongsideanalysis of other disaster risk drivers) informs the actions required tomanage and reduce disaster risk. Here we suggest how natural hazard researchscientists can better contribute to the planning and development ofsustainable and resilient communities through improved engagement indisaster risk reduction (DRR). Building on existing good practice, thisperspective piece aims to provoke discussion in the natural hazard sciencecommunity about how we can strengthen our engagement in DRR. We set outseven recommendations for enhancing the integration of natural hazardscience into DRR: (i) characterise multi-hazard environments; (ii) prioritise effective, positive, long-term partnerships; (iii) understand andlisten to your stakeholders; (iv) embed cultural understanding into naturalhazard research; (v) ensure improved and equitable access to hazardinformation; (vi) champion people-centred DRR (leaving no one behind); and(vii) improve links between DRR and sustainable development. We then proceedto synthesise key actions that natural hazard scientists and researchfunders should consider taking to improve education, training, and researchdesign and to strengthen institutional, financial, and policy actions. Wesuggest that these actions should help to strengthen the effectiveapplication of natural hazard science to reduce disaster risk. Byrecognising and taking steps to address the issues raised in theserecommendations, we propose that the natural hazard science community canmore effectively contribute to the inter-/transdisciplinary, integrated workrequired to improve DRR.
