Rationale of this Lumos
In order to enhance the connection and promote the innovations and actions of young scientists, IRDR IPO designs a mechanism of “IRDR Young Scientists Lumos”, which will be webinars, sessions, meetings or discussions mainly organised and participated by young scientists and young professionals in global disaster risk reduction (DRR) community.
UNESCO and IRDR jointly initiated discussions on the cultural heritages, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. Under this cooperation, a report in this regard was published by UNESCO and IRDR. To further raise this discussion among young researchers, professionals and practitioners, UNESCO and IRDR co-organise this lumos. The lumos will reflect the research and innovations from young generations with the topics including but not limited (1) vulnerability assessment of cultural heritages (tangible and intangible), (2) integrating traditional knowledge and advanced technologies for climate change adaption and disaster risk reduction, and (3) the role of culture in climate action through education, grassroots initiatives, and policy engagement.
It is expected that through the discussion, the innovation contributions from young professionals will be visualized and acknowledged by the global DRR community.
