 tunities\, amongst which are reducing vulnerability to hazards including c
 limate change alongside maintaining healthy populations and environments. 
 Health research and disaster studies stand at the forefront of developing 
 solutions\, yet they often pursue the research separately. This seminar pr

 disaster risk reduction\, and disaster response\, through using island cas
 e studies. Examples are (i) combining disaster diplomacy and health diplom
 acy\, (ii) the psychological effects of climate change impacts and adaptat
 ion\, and (iii) using performing arts for health and disaster risk communi
 cation.\n\nIlan Kelman http://www.ilankelman.org [1] is a Reader in Risk\,
