INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE FIELD OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

Science and knowledge are important factors in ensuring preventive measures, such as assessing the risk of various emergency situations, in order to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Perspectives on risk assessment, risk reduction and sustainable disaster recovery are reflected in such global programs as the Hyogo Framework Program (2005-2015), the Sendai Framework Program (2015-2030) and the Sustainable Development Goals (IMC) (2016- 2030). Close interaction of nature and humans led to more systemic view that the increase of natural disasters, depletion and environmental degradation are directly related to climate change, ecosystem functioning, human health and socio-economic security. The Russian Federation actively supports international framework programs and researches which contribute to a better understanding of risk in all its aspects. Interdisciplinary researches and development in the field of natural disasters and man-made disasters allow to create innovative methodology for forecasting and monitoring man-made and natural hazards. On the other hand, research efforts in support of risk management and crisis management greatly contribute to emergency preparedness and response and help to reduce the loss of human lives and economic costs. This article discusses issues of international cooperation of Russia in the field of monitoring, early detection and prevention of emergency situations, as well as in the field of disaster risk reduction.
