Doktorsavhandling Mathilde de Goër de Herve 2024_22

Här följer en kort sammanfattning av studien: 
This thesis connects the perpetual task of disaster risk management to the most pressing necessity of our era: sustainable development. It investigates how the contribution of disaster risk management to sustainable development can be strengthened by incorporating justice-related and temporal considerations into the decision-making process. After giving an overview of justice issues in flood risk management, it promotes a systemic understanding of various dimensions of justice that need to be considered to make transparent and fair choices in risk management. A framework is elaborated to be used proactively and retroactively by practitioners and researchers which encompasses social and ecological concerns in various temporal and spatial scales. The thesis then focuses on the temporal aspects of disaster risk management practices:  the time horizons included when evaluating disaster risk management, and the temporal strategies implemented to strengthen resilience after a disaster. The path is complex, yet incorporating several justice dimensions, including temporal justice, in disaster risk management practices means supporting choices that contribute to sustainable development in a highly uncertain context. 

Händelsen är öppen för allmänheten.
