Abstract

In 2021, a thought-provoking special issue of the I nternational Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters (IJMED) ignited an important conversation about Micro Human Efforts (MHE). Titled “Multidisciplinary Perspectives of Micro Human Efforts in Post-Disaster Recovery”, this issue opened the door to exploring the vital, yet often overlooked, role of small-scale human efforts during extreme climatic events. Recognizing the emerging significance of MHE, the special issue's editors teamed up with IJMED to establish some preliminary definitions. As the official dissemination platform of the International Sociological Association's (ISA) Research Committee on Sociology of Disasters (RC39), IJMED stood out as a credible platform for addressing these multifaceted themes tied to climate-induced disasters.
