The present report is on the thematic study of local, indigenous and tr…
This Words into Action guide aims to provide a practical overview of how traditional knowledges can be used to complement scientific knowledge in disaster risk reduction (DRR). This guide provides guidance in translating the Sendai Framework into credible and implementable actions for DRR with a focus on the application of traditional knowledge rather t…
Nepal and Thailand confront similar hazards – from storms and floods to droughts and earthquakes, severely affecting impoverished communities and those living at the fringes.
However disadvantaged, these communities possess local experiences that allow them to adapt and respond to disasters. This local knowledge helps researchers better understand and…
This paper discusses potential of earth observation (EO) in providing simplistic and operational tools for the systemic risk analysis to complement Indigenous Knowledges covering nature-based solutions (NBS). This approach helps to address the techno-cultural complexities and provide robust baselines to meet the 2030 Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduc…

This contributing paper presents three different global examples, at different stages of development, of how Indigenous Peoples are co-creating data platforms and technological tools that weave together Indigenous and Western knowledge and scientific Earth observations (EO) for disaster risk reduction. By documenting these remarkable indigenous-led proj…
This contributing paper aims to investigate the extent to which community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) in practice really takes into account local knowledge (LK). It is often taken as given that CBDRR serves as a mechanism for the inclusion of local knowledge (LK) in disaster risk reduction (DRR). But the reality from the ground sugge…
