Abstract

Disaster risk management is an integral part of sustainability, and curricula that are focused on sustainability can be broadened to include disaster risk management. The David O’Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise at Concordia University researches and teaches disaster risk management through involvement in a collaborative project with the United Nations’ Future Earth network to develop a Sustainable Financial and Economic System Knowledge-to-Action Network (SFES-KAN). The definition of ‘sustainable’ in this context includes disaster risk management. The SFES-KAN aims to align the current financial system with the UN’s sustainable development goals by identifying research gaps and facilitating interdisciplinary research between academics, practitioners, and policymakers to fill those gaps. Our research on such topics as risk management and sustainable investing for the SFES-KAN project has translated into research on disaster risk management and has led to curriculum development on these topics. The goal of our paper is to provide other institutions with examples and strategic information on how to translate such interdisciplinary and solution-oriented sustainability research into research and curricula on disaster risk management.

通过可持续发展研究和教学培训下一代灾害风险管理人员
灾害风险管理是可持续性的一个组成部分,以可持续性为重点的课程可以扩大到包括灾害风险管理。康考迪亚大学的David O ' brien可持续企业中心通过参与与联合国未来地球网络的合作项目来研究和教授灾害风险管理,以开发可持续金融和经济系统知识到行动网络(sses - kan)。在这种情况下,“可持续”的定义包括灾害风险管理。sfts - kan旨在通过确定研究差距并促进学者、从业者和政策制定者之间的跨学科研究来填补这些差距,使当前的金融体系与联合国的可持续发展目标保持一致。我们对sfts - kan项目的风险管理和可持续投资等主题的研究已经转化为对灾害风险管理的研究,并导致了这些主题的课程开发。本文的目标是为其他机构提供如何将这种跨学科和以解决方案为导向的可持续性研究转化为灾害风险管理研究和课程的例子和战略信息。
