“…Such an intersection framework would account for citizens' race, class (income), gender, ethnicity, disability and other inequalities. In his study on the interaction of global and national social inequality with the effectiveness of governmental response to environmental degradation Jeffrey Sachs (2015: 45-70) supports Ryder's (2017) suggestion.…”

“…Therefore, looking at the data on the effects of environmental disasters on local communities, Stacia Ryder (2017) proposes to include roots of social inequality in environmental solutions. Even though vulnerability to environmental disasters is discussed primarily in terms of environmental justice, the intersectional framework of addressing the roots of social inequality while focusing on environmental justice would lead to a better understanding of environmental harms and disaster vulnerabilities, argues Ryder (2017). Therefore, it will generate more just and equitable planning, preparedness, response and recovery activities.…”

The recent diffusion of democracy across the globe has led to an increase in the curiosity of scholars, policymakers and the public alike about the main principles and characteristics of democracy. Equally important are concerns over outcomes of democracy, especially responsiveness of democracy to environmental and citizens’ protection in times of disasters. This article aims to answer several questions about the understanding of principles and outcomes of democracy, and the complexity and variability of democracy across countries, which are still unanswered in the literature. Specifically, it adds to the scholarly debates on democracy and environmental disasters in three ways. First, it presents theoretical and empirical debates on definitions and principles of democracy and its progress worldwide. Second, it discusses the effect of democracy on environmental sustainability. Third, it focuses on the pre-eminence of responsiveness of democratic in comparison to non-democratic governments to environmental disasters, and the best pathways to education on democracy in a time of environmental disasters. The article concludes by highlighting the advantage of mechanisms and solutions of democracy in contrast to non-democracy to challenges in times of environmental disasters and to teaching about responses to environmental disasters.

“…Intersectionality has been used as a framework to merge disaster vulnerability with environmental justice (Ryder, 2017). An intersectional approach to disaster preparedness and response ensures that all groups are meaningfully included or considered in planning and decision-making processes; however, in many countries around the world, this is not yet realized.…”

The research presented here takes stock of the status of the integration of gender and social equality and human rights–based approaches in disaster preparedness and response, in six countries in Asia: Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka. Through policy review and stakeholder interviews, we aim to demonstrate to government and non-government actors that integrating rights and equality in preparedness and response is important, worthwhile and beneficial for all.

“…Reducing social vulnerability and enhancing both social and environmental justice go together (Cutter 2012;Ryder 2017;Shrestha et al 2019;Sotolongo, Kuhl and Baker 2021): they involve challenging the political and development decisions that lead to inequalities of risk (Arifeen and Eriksen 2020;Fraser et al 2020). The complex drivers of risk are rooted and perpetuated through poor development practices, through exposure to hazard events and ongoing poor risk governance.…”

Progress in Environmental Geography

This Progress Report reviews the geographical literature concerning environmental hazards and risk focussing particularly on areas that require and enhance interdisciplinary working between human and physical geographers. Although there are still substantial gaps between disciplinary siloes, there is a growing recognition that critical interdisciplinary work is vital. Key areas include early warning, urban planning, hazard and risk mapping, scientific advisory processes, risk communication and institutional geographies. We review some of this work, examine emerging theory and consider the opportunities for greater knowledge exchange between disciplines using critical physical geography and cognate approaches.
