    Integrating Sustainable Development Goals with the Management of Natural and Technological Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction
    (Willey, 2024) Prateek Srivastava , Ambrina Sardar Khan
    This chapter explores the critical need for integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the management of natural and technological hazards and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Natural and technological hazards pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and sustainable development. The SDGs provide a comprehensive framework for addressing various societal challenges including poverty, inequality, climate change, and sustainable development. This chapter highlights the importance of aligning DRR efforts with SDGs to enhance resilience, reduce vulnerability, and promote sustainable development in the face of hazards and disasters. It examines the intersections between specific SDGs, such as SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and the management of hazards and DRR. The chapter also discusses the key principles, strategies, and policy recommendations for integrating SDGs into hazard management and DRR frameworks. By fostering synergies between SDGs and hazard management, this chapter aims to contribute to a holistic approach that enhances disaster resilience and advances sustainable development.
