Editorial statement
DKKV is the largest platform for disaster risk reduction in Germany and has been promoting prevention and disaster risk reduction in science, practice and in politics since the beginning of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction in 1990. This perspective brings the experience collected by DKKV providing challenges and step changes for natural hazards.
Short summary
The worldwide challenge of the present as well as the future is to navigate the global community to a sustainable and secure future. Humanity is increasingly facing multiple risks under more challenging conditions. The continuation of climate change and the ever more frequent occurrence of extreme, multi-hazard, and cascading events are interacting with increasingly complex and interconnected societies.
