The purpose of this series is to provide a forum for conversations about emerging issues in disaster risk reduction and resilience and to highlight important topics that receive little attention or focus.

In this webinar, we will hear from Dr Nick Rose and Mia Cox at Sustain: The Australian Food Network, who will share insights on community-led and systems-based approaches to building more resilient and equitable food systems.

In the April 2026 edition of AJEM, Dr Silke Clausing and Professor Annick Masselot analyse how legal and policy frameworks in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally address gender equality during emergencies and disasters with a specific focus on unpaid caregiving and employment risks for women following disasters.
