The pursuit of sustainable development in the context of global environmental change requires enhanced capability to deal with changing hazard profiles, across scales and geographies. Humans attempt to manage human and natural systems interactions in ways that minimize disaster risks, and the political expression of this ambition is the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 ('Sendai Framework'). These efforts lay the foundation for sustainable development, as since the onset of the Sendai Framework, the policy objective of disaster risk reduction has been explicitly linked to global progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Separately, peace is a focal point of SDG 16, and widely regarded as foundational to attainment of all SDGs. Meanwhile in academic and policy arenas throughout the 2000s, evidence attests of the amplifying negative impact of climate-related disaster events on increasing violent conflict. What remains underexplored are questions of whether and how effective management of human and natural systems interaction, through disaster risk reduction, can contribute towards conditions of peace through peacebuilding. This paper explores how delivery of the Sendai Framework is necessary for sustainability, and potentially also for peace. In the context of the sustainability-peace nexus, the contribution of disaster risk reduction is terra incognita. This paper aims to deepen understanding of those under-researched tripartite links.
在全球环境变化背景下追求可持续发展，需要增强应对不同规模和地域不断变化的灾害状况的能力。人类试图以尽量降低灾害风险的方式管理人类与自然系统的相互作用，而这一目标的政治体现就是《2015 - 2030年仙台减少灾害风险框架》（《仙台框架》）。这些努力为可持续发展奠定了基础，因为自《仙台框架》出台以来，减少灾害风险的政策目标已明确与可持续发展目标的全球进展联系起来。另外，和平是可持续发展目标16的一个重点，被广泛视为实现所有可持续发展目标的基础。与此同时，在整个21世纪的学术和政策领域，有证据表明与气候相关的灾害事件对暴力冲突不断增加产生了放大的负面影响。尚未充分探讨的问题是，通过减少灾害风险对人类与自然系统相互作用进行有效管理是否以及如何能够通过建设和平促进和平环境。本文探讨了《仙台框架》的实施对于可持续发展以及潜在地对于和平的必要性。在可持续性与和平的关系背景下，减少灾害风险的贡献尚不清楚。本文旨在加深对这些研究不足的三方联系的理解。
