International Environment and Disaster Management Research Field targets to reduce the gap between knowledge and practice through pro-active field-level, community-based project implementation. The target areas are mainly developing countries in Asia, which have the highest population growth, and high vulnerability, due to different types of natural and man-made disasters. The focus of this research field is to learn lessons from the field experiences through effective environment and disaster related project management. Disaster issues are directly related to environmental degradation, and global climate change. Disasters hit poor people, affecting their lives, properties and livelihoods. Thus, disaster, environment, and development are closely linked to each other, under the broad umbrella of human security. The key of environment and disaster management is the end-user’s participation, which are the communities, and its people. Added to this, is education and learning through formal/ non-formal education, and community/ family interactions. Working closely with the governments, non-governments (NGO/ NPO), international organizations (United Nations and other bilateral and multilateral development agencies) and regional bodies, this research field is developing a unique process-oriented participatory approach of environment and disaster management through direct involvement and ownership of the community.
