The year 2015 will be pivotal for climate change, disasters, and development. In all three areas, new international frameworks are due to be agreed to guide policy and action. These include the framework and targets to take forward the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the second phase of the Hyogo Framework for Action to make the world safer from natural hazards, and a new comprehensive UNFCCC agreement on international climate change action. While these develop in parallel, it is crucial that the three frameworks are linked up such that poverty and social justice concerns are reflected in climate change and disasters frameworks, and tackling climate change and natural hazards is integrated into development targets, policy and planning. This collection of articles from Institute of Development Studies Bulletins from the past few decades provides insights for the development of these international policy frameworks.
