Equity and inclusion in disaster risk reduction building resilience for all

This research paper by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) argues for the integration of equity and social inclusion into disaster risk reduction (DRR) frameworks. It examines how marginalized groups—including women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities—face disproportionate vulnerabilities and are frequently excluded from decision-making processes. The authors advocate for a shift from viewing these groups as passive victims to recognizing them as active agents of change whose local knowledge and capacities are essential for building equitable resilience.
