Abstract:
The HSRC is working with partners to build a body of work on actions to be taken, or required, to avoid disasters.
This includes initiatives such as conferences on Disaster and Risk Management (DRM) now carried out in African
countries. The first conference, Investing in Disaster Management for Sustainable Development, was held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe in October 2022 and attracted more 120 participants from all over the world. Since then, and with the input from the HSRC CEO Prof Sarah Mosoetsa, an overarching theme has been coined and all DRM conferences will be under the umbrella theme Climate Change and Futures in Africa Conference Series. The second DRM conference under this theme was Towards Local Solutions to Early Warning and Disaster Risk Reduction in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and Beyond, held from 8-10 November 2023 in Maputo, Mozambique.
