Disasters can set hard-won development gains back a generation and conflict makes it more likely that a disaster will result. Disaster vulnerability often sits at the intersection of poverty, ill health and instability. Conflict has complex drivers and many intersections with disaster. While there has been a reduction in global disaster deaths attributed to progress in disaster risk reduction, the majority of disaster deaths occur in the top 30 fragile and conflict affected states and deaths remain high. Presentations are solicited that support effective preparation, response, recovery and adaptation to disasters, including early warning systems, with a focus on the nexus of conflict, health, migration and natural and extreme climatic hazards. This session will cover geographical foci including the Middle East, Sudan, Kashmir and Myanmar/Bangladesh and post-conflict countries such as Nepal and Indonesia. The gendered dimension of conflict and disaster will be addressed.
