【 摘 要 】

Disaster risk management is an integral part of sustainability, and curricula that are focused on sustain-ability can be broadened to include disaster risk management. The David O’Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise at Concordia University researches and teaches disaster risk management through involve-ment in a collaborative project with the United Nations’ Future Earth network to develop a Sustainable Financial and Economic System Knowledge-to-Action Network (SFES-KAN). The definition of ‘sustain-able’ in this context includes disaster risk management. The SFES-KAN aims to align the current finan-cial system with the UN’s sustainable development goals by identifying research gaps and facilitating interdisciplinaryresearchbetweenacademics,practitioners,andpolicymakerstofillthosegaps.OurresearchonsuchtopicsasriskmanagementandsustainableinvestingfortheSFES-KANprojecthastranslated into research on disaster risk management and has led to curriculum development on these topics. The goal of our paper is to provide other institutions with examples and strategic information on howtotranslatesuchinterdisciplinaryandsolution-orientedsustainabilityresearchintoresearchandcurricula on disaster risk management.
