Introduction
Within the project Transformative Partnerships for Sustainable Development, my work specifically investigates the effectiveness of partnerships between state and non-state actors including international organisations, private actors, civil society and non-governmental organisations. My research beyond the project focuses on global sustainable development and int'l environmental and climate politics, including local climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction and the EU Green Deal.

Article
Full-text available
Many suggestions have been made on what motivates countries to expand their measures for disaster risk reduction (DRR), including the frequency and severity of natural hazards, accountability mechanisms, and governance capacity.
