Antifragility and Natural Hazard Risk: Rethinking Disaster through a Transformative Resilience Lens

Abstract This study introduces antifragility as a transformative lens for disaster risk governance, shifting emphasis from restoration to disruption-induced improvement of systems. We distill six principles for operationalizing antifragility in disaster risk reduction contexts and delineate ethical, systemic, and learning-based implications for future resilience. Together, these elements reframe disaster risk governance as dynamic, adaptive, and self-reinforcing amid compounding climate risks.
