International Environment and Disaster Management Research Field targets to reduce the gap between knowledge and practice through pro-active field-level, community-based project implementation. The target areas are mainly developing countries in Asia, which have the highest population growth, and high vulnerability, due to different types of natural and man-made disasters. The focus of this research field is to learn lessons from the field experiences through effective environment and disaster related project management. Disaster issues are directly related to environmental degradation, and global climate change. Disasters hit poor people, affecting their lives, properties and livelihoods.

Vulnerability has long been a key concept in disaster literature. However, the majority of studies have focused on research related to the hazard, therefore neglecting the influence of the vulnerability of exposed systems to the consequences of such hazards, such as the death toll and losses from natural or man made disasters. There is also a need to better identify and measure the ability of ‘at risk’ and affected communities and territorial systems to respond to such disasters. This is the starting point of the ENSURE project.
