User:D0T1ro/Disaster risk reduction/Bibliography

You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

More sources I could add:

 * 1) The Sustainable Development Goals Extended Report 2022 - UNSD, 2022. https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2022/extended-report/Extended-Report_Goal-13.pdf.

General Overview:

 * Go through the inline citations and make sure the formatting is correct and all sources are properly cited
 * Add pictures and graphs to more sections, making sure that each are added in the relevant areas
 * Improve the Development of Concept section
 * delete large sections of other articles
 * improve on a timeline of terms leading to disaster risk reduction
 * Add more International Policies
 * expand the "other" section to include more specific policy subtopics

Lead:
For the most part, the current lead seems to be a solid introduction to disaster risk reduction. However, some of the statements are a biased summary of the rest of the article, so I plan to rewrite this description from a more objective perspective. I intend to add a more comprehensive definition and analysis of the term, as opposed to detailing the information to come in the article. Furthermore, the top of the page has a banner stating that some citations are incorrectly formatted, which makes the page seem unreliable. I will go through the article and fix these citations so that when one first opens the page, it seems more trustworthy.

Evolution of term:
New subsection of "development of concept"

Describe how, due to climate change, environmental hazard terms such as ‘natural disasters’ are no longer appropriate, since human action has affected many of the natural processes. Detail a brief history of human efforts responding to hazards, and how action after the event evolved to mitigation and risk reduction efforts.

Mitigation vs risk reduction:
New subsection of "development of concept"

Provide a brief description of the term mitigation, as well as risk management (slightly different from risk reduction but will help emphasize the difference between the terms). I will then compare and contrast the definitions and provide examples as to which term should be used in certain scenarios, and the applications of each in the field of hazards and disasters.

Effect of Climate Change on Disasters:
New section

Climate change has enough of an impact on disasters that I think it should be given a separate section, rather than as a subtopic of “development of concept.” Some of this section can be based on “climate change adaptation,” but it would provide more detail into the scientific impact of climate change on disasters, and how disaster risk has to prepare for more devastating events due to the increase of climate change.

International Disaster Risk Reduction Day:
New subsection of "international policies"

Create a section dedicated to the International Disaster Risk Reduction Day, which is October 13. This topic is discussed in the “other” section of international policies, but can be expanded into its own subtopic. Provide examples of actions and activities of this day in past years, as well as how awareness is spread. Furthermore, add information on who created the holiday, and when.

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals:
New subsection of "international policies"

Some information can be taken from the deleted “sustainable development” subtopic of “development of concept.” This section should touch on the creation of the SDGs as well as the specific goals that apply to this topic, namely SDG 11 and 13, as well as provide links to the pages of each.

International Disaster Risk Reduction Decade:
New section

Include information about the 90’s, dubbed the Disaster Risk Reduction decade. Provide background as to why this was created, and which facet of government created the term. Detail the resulting policies and actions that occurred on the subject (the process of their creation and their impact on society). Then, provide a summary of the results of this decade of action, and the long lasting effects of the programs and their impacts on society today.

Gender Inequality:
Updated subsection of "Issues and Challenges"

The current gender section has information about gender inequalities and natural hazards, but not necessarily risk reduction. Expand on gender inequalities in environmental issues, with a focus on women working to reduce risk/mitigate hazards. Add information about the unique role women can play in risk reduction based upon society’s expectation of women as caretakers. Also, remove the picture, as it is not super relevant.
