Voice of IslamDrive Time Show Podcast 03-04-2025 - Islamophobia and Disaster PlanningJoin Faheem Nasir & Usman Ali Anjum for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Islamophobia' and 'Disaster Planning'.
Islamophobia
Recent reports highlight a troubling rise in Islamophobia across the world, with increasing incidents of hate crimes and discrimination. These developments underscore the urgent need for stronger measures to combat intolerance and protect the rights of Muslim communities.
Disaster Planning
From extreme weather events to cyberattacks and public health crises, the world faces a growing range of potential disasters. But are we truly prepared? Are individuals, local councils, and the government doing enough to mitigate risks and resp...2025-04-031h 50
New EnlightenmentDisasters, Climate Change & Communication: Rethinking the NarrativeIn this episode of New Enlightenment, Adam Dixon sits down with Ilan Kelman to unravel the complex realities behind disasters, climate change, and the power of effective communication. Kelman challenges the common notion of “natural disasters,” emphasizing that disasters are driven by human choices and public policy failures rather than nature alone.The conversation dives into why understanding the baselinecauses of disasters — from poor urban planning to inadequate forest management — is critical to reducing their impact. Kelman argues that fear-based messaging around climate change often backfires, stressing the importance of tailored communication strategies that resonate with diverse communit...2025-03-0350 min

The Why? CurveGetting Ready For The StormHow ready are we for the results of climate change? While leaders talk at COP29 about lessening global warming, some of the extreme weather predicted by scientists is already here. The hundreds dead in the Valencia floods suggest governments need to do more to keep us safe. Do we need to build differently, or live in more secure places? Can we be adequately protected from the increasing numbers of wildfires or hurricanes?

UCL MindsEpisode 3: The SDGs and Climate CrisisProfessor Monica Lakhanpaul and Professor Priti Parikh are joined by Professor Catalina Turcu, Professor of Sustainable Built Environment, Bartlett School of Planning and Professor Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health in the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction. Today they’re discussing the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals and climate change.
Goal 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, and many people have argued that tackling climate change should be the highest priority of the goals because of its impact on all of the other targets.

UCL MindsLunch Hour Lecture | Is climate change increasing disasters?About the lecture
We hear so much about human-caused climate change threatening our lives. Often, any disaster including conflict is linked to climate change. Without doubt, we are changing the world's climate quickly and substantively. Many disasters, though, are much more a result of other human decisions about where people live, or are forced to live, and the options they have, or do not have, for helping themselves to avoid calamity. In so many situations, disasters could be avoided, no matter what the climate is doing or what we are doing to the climate. In other instances, human-caused climate change...2023-10-2459 min

RETEACHRETEACH GEOGRAPHY - Ilan Kelman on Disaster ManagementProfessor and author Ilan Kelman explains why the events described as 'natural disasters' are often the outcome of inherently unequal and unjust systems which don't allow the individuals who are part of them to access the same survival tools and employ the same recovery strategies. He discusses the importance of considering a variety of factors such as the political, economic and social contingencies when drafting policies around natural hazards, and concludes with an appeal to all human beings to be kinder to one another.Resources athttps://reteach.org.uk/subject/geography/how-decision-making-affects-vulnerability-to-hazardshttps://reteach.org...2023-06-2035 min

Climate refugees can come from anywhere: from cities and suburbia to some of the remotest places on Earth. They may have jobs dictated by the weather. If it’s too hot or dry, they’re relocating to find new employment. Some may have lost their homes to extreme weather events and can’t afford to rebuild. In a few worst-case scenarios, entire communities are having to evacuate due to sea level rise, shore erosion, wildfire destruction, or loss of industry.
