Some Underlying Principles Driving GADRI (1)
• Disaster Risk Reduction and Disaster Resilience is an
interdisciplinary domain with unknown parameters and
ever increasing additional research needs.
• DRR research and development need to be effectively
applied - institutional collectives generate the moral,
political and technical support to do so.
• Progress in research should inform positions of power
and this generates opportunities for impact on disaster
risk reduction and disaster resilience.

Some Underlying Principles Driving GADRI (2)
An alliance of institutions:
• Offers cooperative (as opposed to competitive)
working between and beyond its members
• Facilitates a framework to guide new researchers in
an expanding field
• Maintains DRR institutional memory, to enable
maximisation of previous effort.
3

Question Prompts – how you see it
• What are some of the issues likely to face a
global alliance in this field?
• What are the solutions that can be facilitated
by a Global Alliance of Disaster Research
Institutes?
• What ways would you like to collaborate with
GADRI?

The document discusses capacity development for disaster risk reduction at the national and local levels. It explores strengths and weaknesses of current DRR capacity development efforts, and presents UNITAR's contribution through a new K4Resilience hub initiative. The initiative aims to strengthen DRR capacity development at national and sub-national levels by transferring knowledge and technology, advocating for positive change, achieving economies of scale in training, and facilitating peer-to-peer learning and mainstreaming of knowledge through strategies at the national and sub-national levels.

Global Risk Forum GRFDavos

This document summarizes key points from an OECD report on risk communication by governments and the role of social media in crisis communication. It discusses how effective risk communication is important for public trust, costs, and policy learning. Risk communication systems should include stakeholders, focus on prevention, and facilitate two-way information sharing using new technologies like social media. Social media can help spread information faster than traditional media, though it also presents challenges around speed of response, misinformation, and message confusion. The report identifies 12 good practices for governments to develop multi-layered social media strategies in partnership with citizens and traditional media.

GADRI's goals are to establish collaborative research initiatives, form international working groups, and disseminate findings to influence disaster policy.

From Thoughts to Action

Global Risk Forum GRFDavos

1. The OECD High Level Risk Forum reviewed the risk of flooding from the Seine River in Paris. A flood in Paris could impact over 5 million people and cause economic damages between 3 to 30 billion Euros. 2. Better coordination of flood prevention policies across different government levels could reduce disaster impacts. There are opportunities to develop an ambitious resilience strategy, including improving flood risk governance and defining long-term financing for prevention. 3. Recommendations include ensuring linkages across flood prevention efforts, defining a clear vision and responsibilities, and improving risk knowledge, urban planning resilience, and infrastructure protection. Developing a strategic financial framework that maximizes coherence could help catalyze existing prevention resources.

The document discusses issues related to higher education and accreditation systems for engineering programs. It provides background on challenges facing higher education, including rapid changes in knowledge and technology. Quality assurance and accreditation systems are important for regulating education standards. The document examines accreditation criteria from the ABET system in the US and the EUR-ACE system in Europe. While these systems evaluate criteria like curriculum and student outcomes, the document notes they do not sufficiently address topics related to disaster risk management, which will be an important subject for engineers to study given increasing risks from natural hazards and industrial accidents. The document suggests accreditation standards could be improved by integrating more interdisciplinary teaching and dedicated courses on disaster risk reduction.

International agricultural research has long searched for effective models to connect research to innovation and impact with mixed success. This has led to a need to invest in understanding innovation practice through learning rather than reliance on universal models. The document argues that establishing a scientific basis to link multi-stakeholder partnership practice with impact requires a framework and evidence on what works. The CGIAR is well positioned to contribute knowledge on how innovation processes work and to develop practices that enable effective contribution to impact.

Innogen

The UK currently faces an unprecedented array of innovation opportunities. Many important initiatives are being designed to support the translation of basic science into practical outcomes, as well as to ensure we capitalise on the economic and societal benefit from the research we fund. To maximise this impact, there is a need for a radically new approach to innovation support from the social science and policy communities – one that helps us better understand the factors that determine which products and processes reach the marketplace, over what timescales, and in which industry sectors, regions or countries. Innogen works to effectively foresight future outcomes of specific policies, regulatory initiatives, innovation support mechanisms and investment decisions, and identify gaps in regulatory capacity to be responsive to the rapid pace of innovation in advanced technology sectors. This seminar will explore our approach to the analysis of innovation generation, focusing particularly on where our ideas are having most traction in innovation and policy communities.
