Vulnerability brings out the socially produced ways in which groups are rendered safe or unsafe in view of hazards. The concept has been a radical move in disaster studies as it took the natural out of natural disasters\, and in focusing on issues like power and inequality as factors that turn the occurrence of a hazard into a disaster. \nToday\, the concept of vulnerability has partly been overtaken by resilience. Increasingly\, people (even disadvantaged people) have begun to be considered as resilient\, with the capacities to organise\, resist\, learn\, change and adapt. Adaptation has become the slogan and the proposed solution to the problem of adjusting human systems to actual or expected climatic stimuli. \nThe roundtable will discuss whether\, and if so\, how vulnerability still matters? Does resilience indeed help to focus disaster response on communities? What happens to social inequalities and the role of the state’s duties to protect their citizens?\n\nFeaturing: Greg Bankoff\, Kenneth Hewitt\, Terry Cannon\, Lisa Schipper\, Luis Artur\, Sarah Bradshaw\, and Ben Wisner. \nClick here to find more information about the speakers and the programme. The round table will be concluded with drinks\, offered by IHSA \nPlease register by sending an email to: kuno@kuno-platform.nl URL:https://www.humanityhub.net/calendar/vulnerability-versus-resilience-the-politics-of-language-in-disaster-risk-reduction-and-climate-change-adaptation/ LOCATION:Aula B\, Kortenaerkade 12\, Den Haag ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.humanityhub.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screen-Shot-2019-03-13-at-14.12.54.png ORGANIZER;CN="KUNO":MAILTO:kuno@kuno-platform.nl END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
