N2 - Since climate change is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, policy and regulatory aspects of the new nexus between digitalisation, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and adaptation span across multiple sectors and levels of governance. As such, it stands that a major challenge is to bring together different scales of governance and shareholders to ensure coordination and cooperation in regulating this new nexus. Therefore, this article outlines and discusses the academic literature on DRR and asks how this nexus can be conceptualised from a regulatory perspective and what opportunities and challenges does this new outlook present for climate resilience. As this article demonstrates, despite this emerging nexus between the felds of law, policy, and technology within DRR, they continue to largely work in isolation. However, the development of a methodological framework, integrating law, policy, and technology within a DRR framework provides useful insights in identifying the relevant factors that should be considered when discussing DRR within the context ofClimate Change Adaptative-Mitigation.
