%T Policy Brief: Closing the gap between science and practice at local levels to accelerate disaster risk reduction
%U 
 
%X Even though a large body of disaster-related research dealing with both drivers and consequences has been produced over recent decades – and despite an increased recognition of the centrality of this research in supporting strategies for disaster risk management – there continue to be significant gaps in the co-design and application of knowledge for action. This is due not only to an insufficient uptake of science into DRR management and implementation, but also to inadequate engagement between scientists and practitioners: there is a lack of mechanisms and incentives to facilitate such an exchange. Narrowing the gap between knowledge and local action must therefore be a key priority for the Mid-term Review of the Sendai Framework.
