CNDS sommarforskarskolan 2023
Natural Hazards in the Anthropocene, 21-25 August 2023

About
This international one-week course gathers PhD students in Earth-, engineering- and social sciences for an introduction to the dynamics and impacts of natural hazards (e.g., floods, droughts, wildfires and earthquakes), as well as disaster management and social vulnerability under the umbrella of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Through lectures, seminars, and group assignments, the course will explore DRR through the disaster management cycle (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery), looking at the interplay between natural hazards and societal impacts and responses.
This year’s summer school brought in aspects concerning humanitarian actions, particularly actions to reduce hazard impacts on populations vulnerable to climate-related hazards. Among other things, we discussed the intersections between DRR, disaster management and humanitarian interventions throughout the entire disaster management cycle.
