Webinar:
What should COVID-19 recovery look like?
The Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research and the Disaster Prevention and Management Journal are pleased to invite you to an online talk with Jemilah Mahmood, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister of Malaysia on Public Health and Ricardo Mena, Director of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR).
Disaster recovery is the least spoken
aspect in disaster risk management. The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over and
during the ongoing pandemic we see many countries being affected by range of
other disasters. During this time, we have seen a proliferation of actors
working with different aspects of the pandemic. Governments, non-governmental
actors and civil society are all working towards building a resilient society.
Therefore, we must channel our efforts and ensure that recovery is sustainable
and address issues of systemic risk.
The webinar will focus on the following
questions
- How do we
ensure that recovery addresses questions of risk and vulnerability from a
systems perspective?
- How can we
better align efforts of different actors working with different aspects of
the pandemic and other disasters?
- What
factors are crucial to ensure a sustainable recovery from the pandemic?
The speakers will talk for approximately 15
minutes each, followed by a 20 minutes Q&A.
