DESCRIPTION:Disaster research over the last few decades has effectively ca
 lled attention to the \nvastly unequal impacts of disasters across differe
 nt sections of society. Structural\ninequalities and discrimination signif
 icantly increase the vulnerability of marginalised \ncommunities–includi
 ng women and girls\, people with disabilities\, LGBTQIA+ people\, \nolder 
 people\, ethnic and religious minorities\, people in poverty\, and Indigen
 ous peoples–\nto disaster risk. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk R
 eduction 2015-2030 was a \nlandmark international agreement that sought to
  ‘prevent new\, and reduce existing\, \ndisaster risk through the implem
 entation of integrated and inclusive […] measures’ \n(SFDRR\, 2015). H
 owever\, as several disaster scholars\, practitioners\, and civil society 
 \nactors point out\, the Sendai Framework’s sweeping commitment to ‘in
 clusivity’ lacks \nboth practical force and attention to the specific ne
 eds of different marginalised \ncommunities affected by disasters. Signifi
 cantly\, national and international DRR \nframeworks do not sufficiently c
 onsider the intersectionality of different kinds of \nvulnerability\, and 
 often exclude marginalised communities from the disaster \npolicy-making p
 rocess (Barbelet and Wake\, 2020\; Bennett\, 2020\; Seglah and \nBlanchard
 \, 2021\; Yadav et al.\, 2021\; Zaidi and Fordham\, 2021). This Cambridge 
 \nDisaster Research Network Seminar aims to explore different aspects of i
 nclusive DRR \nand its future prospects. Although this session considers t
 he legacies and blind spots of \nthe Sendai Framework across various conte
 xts\, it also seeks to look beyond this structure \nin thinking about how 
 different communities\, who are considered marginalised and \nat-risk from
  disasters\, have implemented their own inclusive DRR strategies.
