The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international.

Key topics:

multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters

the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques

discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels

disasters associated with climate change

vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends

emerging risks

resilience against disasters



The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 5 (Gender Equality)
