Foe, friend, or all? The position of nature in international law on disaster risk reduction

Marie Aronsson-Storrier

Chapter 6 in Research Handbook on Disasters and International Law, 2024, pp 93-111 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter focuses on the role of and position of nature in international law on disaster risk reduction. It argues that the under-theorisation of nature international law has led to tensions and unarticulated conflicts both between and within legal instruments on disaster risk, making current international law and policy unfit for purpose in meeting the challenges of the present. The chapter invites the reader not only to reconsider how nature is perceived in international law and policy, but also to reflect upon the wider context in which our work as researchers on international law and disasters is positioned, and how we can avoid (invertedly) reinforcing and recreating existing problems and injustices.
