We invite submissions for the 15th Aceh International Workshop and Expo on Sustainable Tsunami Disaster Recovery (AIWEST-DR 2023) under the theme of “Adaptive and Sustainable Resilience to Disaster”. The conference aims to bring together academics, governments, and practitioners to share lessons and recent advances in multi- hazard disaster risk reduction, providing an interdisciplinary platform to further disaster scholarships and practice. This year’s conference theme coincides with the mid-term review of Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and highlights reflections from post-pandemic disruption. We invite submissions that discuss ways to de-centre disaster risk reduction and reflect on progress of achieving Sendai Framework in adaptive and sustainable manners.
