Summary
Integration efforts aiming to increase understanding of global governance changes in the sustainable development and disaster risk reduction areas focus on the need for increased institutional capacity required to link diverse networks within each global field. Institutional capacity is also needed to create greater alignment and cohesion between science and practice, and across sectors and stakeholders. A look back at the evolution of global disaster risk reduction and sustainable development efforts finds that despite early progress, integration between these fields has proved difficult to achieve. The recently established Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) and Future Earth are case studies in science integration. Explicitly committed to science integration, both IRDR and Future Earth constitute concrete progress towards it. Both, however, are science heavy and lack transparency around funding and research relationships, and concerning decision-making structures and criteria. Ultimately success will depend on ability to balance science, policy and practice influence at all levels of organisation, and in all decision making relating to research, practice and policy.
