Forskningspodden #124: Do we always contribute to sustainable development when we manage disasters?
In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked connections between disaster risk management and sustainable development. Mathilde de Goër de Herve gives insights into how incorporating justice-related and temporal considerations can enhance disaster risk management, ensuring long-term resilience and fairness.
We dive into flood risk management, examining how social, ecological, and temporal justice should guide decision-making—not only to address immediate threats but also to protect future generations. Mathilde also introduces a practical framework for practitioners and researchers that integrates these justice dimensions across different time horizons.
Tune in to learn how a focus on justice—especially temporal justice—can shape fairer, more sustainable disaster management strategies. You can read Mathilde's thesis Disaster Risk Management for Sustainable Development: The Role of Justice and Temporality in DiVA.
