Climate-induced disaster risk is increasing worldwide, and disaster risk reduction investments are not keeping pace. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction emphasizes the importance of investment in this area, but more human-centered, data-based approaches are needed, as are traditional hazard-centered or engineering approaches. This led the Japan Science and Technology Agency and the National Science Foundation to issue a call for joint U.S.-Japan projects to address these needs. This session introduces three of the funded projects and discusses action necessary in the future.
