Program Theme

This program will discuss the post 2011 strategy as a memorial event of the 2011 Great East Japan triple disasters (earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident) that pointed out the importance of mitigating major disasters through the perspectives of multi-hazards (spatial scale: more than one disaster occurs at the same time) and their cascading effect (temporal scale: escalating disaster effect over time). Following the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the aim of this program is to systematically discuss the issues with outstanding experts from interdisciplinary fields to minimize casualties, damages and their cascading impacts from multi-hazards on a global scale based on lessons from the 2011 Tohoku triple disasters.
