Perspectives of IRDR-China Perspectives of IRDR-China

Continue to put forward IRDR research, enhancing the level of Scientific support for disaster mitigation and management, especially for policy –making process;

Make efforts to organize social scientists and natural scientists to do trans-disciplinary and integrated study on major natural disaster chain risk and its mitigation ways;

Reinforce international cooperation in disaster research under ICSU IRDR framework, and lead Chinese Scientists to actively participate in IRDR working groups activities and make contributions to IRDR.
