The 1990 initiation of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction marked its 30th year in 2019. The three decades since then have seen significant developments in science and technology and their incorporation into the decision making in the field of disaster risk reduction. The disasters that have occurred during that time have enhanced the importance of the field, and new research and innovations have evolved. This article summarizes this evolution through the review of specific milestones. While the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 provides opportunities for synergies with the sustainable development agenda, the science and technology communities have also changed their roles from advisory to co-designing and co-delivering solutions. Higher education plays an important role in developing new generations of professionals, and the role of thematic incubation in higher education institutions is highlighted along with the development of the professional society in disaster risk reduction. The evolution from Society 4.0 (information age) to Society 5.0 will see an enhanced role of the technology-driven approach in disaster risk reduction, while traditional knowledge and indigenous technologies still remain valid for society. Scientists and science communities need to be more sensitive to changing the “last mile” concept to “first mile” thinking with respect to the users’ needs and perspectives.

科学，技术和学术界三十年的减少灾害风险和新兴责任

1990年发起的“国际减少自然灾害十年”标志着其在2019年成立30周年。从那时起的三个十年中，科学技术取得了重大进展，并将其纳入减少灾害风险领域的决策中。在此期间发生的灾难增强了该领域的重要性，并且新的研究和创新也在不断发展。本文通过回顾特定的里程碑来总结这种发展。尽管《 2015-2030年仙台减少灾害风险框架》为与可持续发展议程的协同增效提供了机会，但科学技术界也已将其作用从咨询改为共同设计和共同交付解决方案。高等教育在培养新一代专业人员方面发挥着重要作用，随着在减灾方面的专业社会的发展，高校主题孵化的作用也得到了强调。从社会4.0（信息时代）到社会5.0的演进将看到技术驱动的方法在减少灾害风险中的作用将增强，而传统知识和本地技术仍然对社会有效。科学家和科学界需要更加敏锐地考虑到用户需求和观点，将“最后一英里”的概念转变为“第一英里”的思想。从社会4.0（信息时代）到社会5.0的演进将看到技术驱动的方法在减少灾害风险中的作用将增强，而传统知识和本地技术仍然对社会有效。科学家和科学界需要更加敏锐地考虑到用户需求和观点，将“最后一英里”的概念转变为“第一英里”的思想。从社会4.0（信息时代）到社会5.0的演进将看到技术驱动的方法在减少灾害风险中的作用将增强，而传统知识和本地技术仍然对社会有效。科学家和科学界需要更加敏锐地考虑到用户需求和观点，将“最后一英里”的概念转变为“第一英里”的思想。
