COVID 19 LIAISE - Project 02
Integrating pandemic preparedness and disaster risk reduction to protect economic assets and people in the 'new normal' for the Greater Bandung Metropolitan area of Indonesia
Objectives
The new project will extend the policy impacts and user engagement of the previous newton study to better protect economic assets and people in the Greater Bandung/Bandung Basin Metropolitan area. It will seek to integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into development planning for the urban agglomeration, including emerging threats posed by COVID-19 and other pandemic hazards that are creating a ‘new normal’. We will build upon previous work to:
1
Map the key actors involved in COVID-19 and pandemic preparedness, and develop a multi-stakeholder transition pathway for the vertical and horizontal integration of disaster risk, climate change and pandemics into development planning to address the 'new normal' in the Greater Bandung Metropolitan area
2
Increase the capacity of provincial and local actors in the Greater Bandung Metropolitan area to address the threats to economic assets and people posed by disaster risk, including pandemics and climate change
