Title:
BEYOND DISASTERS: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEACE |
| Date:
7/13/2007
- 7/13/2007 |
| The natural disasters of recent years have provoked extreme and undeniable devastation, especially in those countries ill equipped to deal with them. On July 13, 2007, the InfoShop helped launch “Beyond Disasters: Creating Opportunities for Peace” in a book seminar co-hosted by the InfoShop, Worldwatch Institute, and World Bank Institute (WBI) at the Bank’s headquarters in Washington, DC, to bring together experts to examine what happens when natural disasters hit conflict-ridden areas. After studying the devastation of the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka, Kashmir, and Indonesia, experts suggested that there is a silver lining to disaster: the possibility that under specific circumstances, natural disasters in conflict-ridden zones can create a very unique opportunity for peace. .
