A call for submission was made for co-designing disaster risk reduction focusing on participatory action and communication in science, technology and academia. This publication is supported by Following the adoption of Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR) IRDR International Programme Office (IPO) and CCOUC. This publication is not the official voice by the UN Member states on March 2015, it becomes more important to consider how the science, of any country and the analysis presented in this publication is of the author(s) mentioned for each technology and academic communities can adopt participatory approaches with communities, civil submission. society and other stakeholders in realization and co-production of the DRR solutions. This work has already begun to be promoted in Asia by the formation of UNISDR Asia Science Technology and Academia Advisory Group (ASTAAG, May 2015) during forum such as the Asia Science Team members: Technology Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (ASTCDRR, August 2016), Regional Innovation UNISDR Asia Science Technology and Academia Advisory Group (ASTAAG): Forum (RIF, December 2016). Peijun Shi, Rajib Shaw and Saini Yang This publication consists of 40 diverse case studies regarding multi-stakeholder and Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) International Programme Office: participatory approaches in DRR, with particular focus on the science, technology and academia Rajib Shaw, Fang Lian and Lucy Lu contributions. The case studies reflect all levels of DRR policy and practice, from a local through subnational, national and regional level. This publication is a modest attempt to illustrate how Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian the science, technology and academic communities can and should be developing participatory Response (CCOUC): strategies to generate more understanding about disaster risk, develop solutions and effectively Emily Y.Y. Chan, Gloria K.W. Chan and Jennifer S.T. Wong communicate this information to a variety of stakeholders. We thankfully acknowledge to all who submitted case studies. A special thank goes to colleagues in IRDR IPO, CCOUC and ASTAAG Secretariat for their support to the publication. Please refer this publication as: Shaw R., Chan E., Lian F., Lu L., Shi P., Yang S., Chan G., Wong J. (2017): Co-designing DRR We hope that this publication would be a good reference document to understand co-designing Solutions: Towards participatory action and communication in science, technology and academia, disaster risk reduction resolutions and to share it with other disaster prone regions of the world.
