This workshop highlights the fundamental characteristics of the post-industrial risk societies that we live in through hyper-risks, interconnectedness and interdependence of systems and networks and their potential for abrupt failures. In this context, the workshop proposes ‘reflective DRR’ one that will promote critical reflective practices and systems thinking in order to tackle hyper-risks related to NATECHs and large scale natural disasters.
