Abstract
The background, purpose, and design of this special section are briefly explained in this introductory article. Three aspects emerged from the articles in this special section and are highlighted to provide a frame of reference for the reader: (1) a paradigm shift towards adaptive and integrative disaster risk governance; (2) a framework that situates adaptive and integrative risk governance in the context of transformation toward sustainability; and (3) the introduction of “implementation science” as a concept, method, and emerging field that brings natural and social sciences, engineering, and humanities jointly to bear in risk mitigation and adaptation.

We want to highlight the following three points that are seen as key concepts running through these articles: (1) A paradigm shift toward integrated disaster risk management; (2) A comprehensive framework for adaptive and integrative risk governance as a fundamental prerequisite for transformation to sustainable societies; and
Adaptive planning and response Participatory, bottom-up processes NOTE: Points below largely arose from critical lessons following the Eastern Japan Earthquake (Fukushima) disaster in March 2011 Creatively-imagined worst-case scenarios with survivability-critical states identified Stress on governance, rather than management Governance of mega disasters and systemic risks at multiple spatial scales Governance of ‘‘natech’’ disasters Build Back Better research programs of adaptive and participatory risk governance
