This study presents a dynamic disaster risk assessment methodology for urban built environments, integrating flood and earthquake scenarios with spatiotemporal patterns of population exposure and vulnerability.

This study explored barriers and enablers in collaborative planning within an evolving risk landscape. In this context, friction-free, bidirectional feedback between the preventive and the reactive parts of the DRM system-of-systems is essential.

This research article examines how Earth observation technologies can strengthen early warning and disaster risk reduction for transport infrastructure in Tanzania.

A practical, non-technical guide helping humanitarian workers keep health centres and schools cooler through low-cost, energy-free building strategies suited to hot climates.

This review examines how extreme heat affects women’s well-being and highlights everyday adaptation practices across Africa, Asia and Oceania.

This study investigates historical trends in heatwave characteristics across New South Wales (NSW), identifies regions with increasing exposure in recent decades, and assesses risks to vulnerable populations using a combined heatwave risk framework.

The report addresses the escalating climate crisis in Southern Africa, where the region has swung from severe El Niño-driven drought in 2023-2024 to devastating La Niña floods and cyclones in 2025-2026, affecting nearly 1.9 million people.
