READY-TO-USE-DATA - Getting risk information to where it is needed
Description
A growing number of risk models are producing increasingly sophisticated risk data. Relevant risk information is however still not readily available to those engaged in critical decision-making within governments and the private sector. While many models are either proprietary or limited in their scope, the Global Assessment Report (GAR) global risk assessment, for the first time, provides open access to global risk information that can be used by the public and private sector alike. The results of this assessment provide essential starting points for understanding and pricing risk, developing comprehensive cost-benefit analyses in support of effective disaster risk management and for developing resilient risk financing strategies.
The side event will provide an interactive platform for understanding data available from the GAR global risk assessment, exploring means to apply the data in practice and the benefits of their use. The event will feature stakeholders from the private sector, international organizations and country representatives that will illustrate practical ways of using the data. Hazard and risk assessment experts will also take part to the discussion.
The side event will be of particular interest to governments that can use risk information as a starting point for public investment planning and risk financing. Multi-national private organisations can use the risk data to provide an overview of how different hazards might affect countries in which they invest or plan to invest. International organizations can use the data to enhance their understanding of the risk in various countries to plan and prioritize interventions.
