Grassroots Resilience: Inclusive Collaboration for DRR
09 October 2025

Building resilience requires cooperation across stakeholders through interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary collaboration. Equally vital is creating space for women and young people— whose energy and creativity are key accelerators of disaster risk reduction. I have met inspiring women and tireless youth who contribute through science, technology, innovation, art, design, local action, and evidence-based advocacy. Their diverse skills strengthen the science-policy-practice nexus and evidence-based advocacy, proving resilience grows from the ground up. To advance DRR from the people at risk to globally, we must continuously invest in local leadership and initiatives, scaling their impact nationally and globally.
