Abstract

Over the past few decades, humanity has experienced a significant increase in the occurrence of natural and anthropogenic disasters, mainly due to climate change and its effects. This situation, due to its several implications in the cosmopolitan society, ends up demanding a new look to the Law. This work explores the understanding of International Law concatenated with disaster risk management (DRM) and, therefore, the concept of Disaster Risk Reduction, through the lens of International Disaster Law (IDL - International Disaster Law). At the same time, if we analyze three important milestones of this movement, they are: Hyogo Action for Disaster Risk Reduction (2005-2015); Outline of Articles for the Protection of People in Disaster Events of the International Law Commission (2016); Sendai Action for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030). The growing concern for the regulation of disaster prevention and response at the international level ends up producing standards that reflect and assist in the design of national strategies to reduce physical or anthropogenic impacts on their communities, their economies and their environment.
