Mission

Economics of Disasters and Climate Change is a peer-reviewed, international journal designed to foster and disseminate innovative and original research and policy analysis on the economic and financial aspects of climate change and disasters (separately, and the interactions between climate and disasters). The journal aims to provide a central ‘meeting point’ for all economists working on these topics and enhance the quality and quantity of analysis as it pertains to our knowledge of these phenomena and their policy implications.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
