2030 and beyond:R i s k- i n f o r m e d d e c i s i o n m a k i n g , i n v e s t m e n t a n d b e h a v i o u rJoin us at the UK Alliance for Disaster Research (UKADR) Annual Conference 2023, a unique
opportunity for the UKADR community to gather and advance disaster research. The conference
theme, "2030 and beyond: Risk-informed decision making, investment, and behaviour," highlights
the pressing need to address global challenges and manage disaster risks effectively.

The conference is inspired by the Mid-term Review of the Implementation of the Sendai Framework
2015-2030 (MTR SF), which emphasizes the importance of disaster risk management. While progresshas been made since its implementation in 2015, our planet's increasing instability carries
significant risks.
Be part of the discussions at the UKADR Annual Conference 2023 and contribute to shaping thefuture of risk-informed decision making, investment, and behaviour. Together, we can confront thechallenges ahead and strive for a more resilient and sustainable world.
