How do we prioritize when making decisions about development and disaster risk?
This briefing from the Stockholm Environment Institute introduces a typology framework designed to analyze trade-offs in decision-making regarding development and disaster risk reduction (DRR). It argues that while development is necessary to reduce vulnerability, poorly planned decisions can increase risk, creating a cycle where disasters destroy development investments. The document outlines five dimensions of trade-offs—aggregation, participation, equity, time, and risk—and demonstrates their application to the 'Build Back Better' concept to identify opportunities for transformative change in disaster recovery.
