SUMMARY:CSTD Side Event - Panel Discussion on Integrated and Interdisciplin
 ary Science Approaches as Pathways to a Resilient and Sustainable Future
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Side Event of UNISDR\, International Science Council (ISC)\, an
 d Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR)Effectively reducing disaster
  and climate risk is the vital basis for the achievement of long-term resi
 lience\, sustainable development and broader peace and security. This requ
 ires us to address the multiple\, complex and interrelated processes of ri
 sk creation and vulnerability as well as strengthening resilience through 
 stronger engagement across sectors\, and communities. The Sendai Framework
  for Disaster Risk Reduction\, adopted in 2015 by all UN Member States as 
 part of the broader 2030 agenda\, is the global blueprint for risk reducti
 on. With its cross-cutting nature and call for an all-of-society approach 
 to risk it can be seen as the connecting tissue between all 2030 agreement
 s.Building on experience and lessons learned from the disaster risk reduct
 ion community\, this session will discuss the role of &#039\;engaged scien
 ce&#039\; and new technologies in helping communities to prepare and recov
 er from the effects of a hazard but specifically to implement and define e
 x-ante actions that reduce disaster risk in the long term and thereby buil
 d resilience\, prosperity and wellbeing for all. Engaged science encompass
 es inter- and transdisciplinary approaches\, between science disciplines b
 ut also between academics and non-academics for knowledge co-production\, 
 mutual learning and problem-solving. It also encompasses the movement of o
 pen science making data and research results more accessible\, and of citi
 zen science and public participation in data collection and analysis. Last
  but not least transformational change also requires the development of en
 abling policy and regulatory frameworks\, new financing approaches which b
 reak down silos and encourage collaboration.Objectives:To exemplify the st
 rong link of disaster risk reduction with the CSTD 2019 priority themes: i
 nclusive and empowered communities through rapid technological changes and
  citizen science.To highlight opportunities and needs to enhance cross-dis
 ciplinary approaches to risk\, resilience and sustainable development.To h
 ighlight opportunities for the science community to drive the agenda in 20
 19\, including the discussions towards the High-Level Political Forum and 
 UN Climate Summit. &lt\;div class=&quot\;row&quot\; style=&quot\;font-siz
