“…In understanding vulnerability and exposure as socially determined, conceptual space has opened to allow researchers to consider the role that conditions of violence and conflict play in the construction of disaster vulnerability (Wisner et al, 2004 ), and thus also in disaster risk (Barnett and Adger 2007 ; Siddiqi 2018 ; Peters 2018 , 2021 ). Disasters yield disproportionate impacts in conflict-affected contexts (Marktanner et al 2015 ; Peters and Budimir 2016 ), which points to a potentially greater need for effective disaster risk management in such contexts. Despite this, Peters et al ( 2019a ) argue that mainstream disaster risk reduction implicitly positions peace and socio-economic-political security as necessary conditions for disaster risk reduction, and the subsequent lack of policy guidance for conflict-affected contexts obstructs the advancement of disaster risk reduction where peace is not found.…”

The pursuit of sustainable development in the context of global environmental change requires enhanced capability to deal with changing hazard profiles, across scales and geographies. Humans attempt to manage human and natural systems interactions in ways that minimize disaster risks, and the political expression of this ambition is the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (‘Sendai Framework’). These efforts lay the foundation for sustainable development, as since the onset of the Sendai Framework, the policy objective of disaster risk reduction has been explicitly linked to global progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Separately, peace is a focal point of SDG 16, and widely regarded as foundational to attainment of all SDGs. Meanwhile in academic and policy arenas throughout the 2000s, evidence attests of the amplifying negative impact of climate-related disaster events on increasing violent conflict. What remains underexplored are questions of whether and how effective management of human and natural systems interaction, through disaster risk reduction, can contribute towards conditions of peace through peacebuilding. This paper explores how delivery of the Sendai Framework is necessary for sustainability, and potentially also for peace. In the context of the sustainability–peace nexus, the contribution of disaster risk reduction is terra incognita. This paper aims to deepen understanding of those under-researched tripartite links.
