5th Global Summit of GADRI: Engaging Science with Action

5th Global Summit of GADRI: Engaging Science with Action The 5th Global Summit of GADRI will take place virtually from 31st August to 1 September 2021. The GADRI 2021 conference aims at stock taking of progress in DRR research from its Members towards targets of the Sendai Science and Technology Roadmap. The programme will communicate academic science across scientific disciplines to policy makers and practitioners. It is an important aspect for academics to be aware how science can directly contribute to national and local disasters, for example, a dam break or an epidemic outbreak, etc. Such situations prompt scientists’ interventions, expertise, and experience and to share them with emergency managers in crisis situations.
