Abstract
Globalization affects various disasters and health risks. People benefit from globalization, but they are being exposed to its adverse effects and suffer from health problems. “Health” is a key dimension to be addressed within an all-hazard approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR). SDG3 highlights concerns about people health and well-being common to DRR, climate change, and sustainable development, and this is also reflected in respective global agenda. The importance of local issues is also highlighted in the global agenda, and therefore local healthcare networking becomes quite critical. In an ever-changing global risk landscape, “living with uncertainties” is the key word. To cope with the uncertainties, adaptive governance becomes a key pillar, where new ways of governance mechanism need to be performed. To enhance better disaster nursing and healthcare dimensions in disaster risk reduction, we need to emphasize on several issues like: (1) trans-, multi-cross disciplinary collaboration; (2) development of knowledge society; (3) open science and open governance, (4) grassroot and process innovation with citizen science; (5) youth leadership; and (6) science-based entrepreneurship.
