The Establishment of the Belt and Road International Cooperation Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Management and the Chinese Approach
Основное содержимое статьи
Аннотация
The countries along the Belt and Road are located in regions highly prone to various natural disasters. From 1900 to 2022, these areas experienced 9,595 major natural disasters, resulting in over 16 million deaths and economic losses exceeding two trillion USD. This article first reviews global disaster risk assessment and governance frameworks, then examines the development and practical achievements of the Belt and Road International Cooperation Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Management (BRIDRREM). Using policy analysis and case study methods, it evaluates the framework’s effectiveness at multilateral, regional, and bilateral levels, and delves into the three key challenges: evolving climate risks, capacity disparities among nations, and institutional gaps. Finally, policy recommendations are proposed, including alignment with the Sendai Framework, strengthened top-level design and legal and institutional processes, and enhanced practical cooperation with neighbouring countries, offering a Chinese approach to improve regional disaster control resilience and emergency response capabilities.
Keywords: Belt and Road; Natural Disasters; Emergency Management; International Cooperation; Framework Development.
