Research warns that 90 per cent of stadiums hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup could face dangerous heat levels.
New research outlines the best locations for dams to avoid flash floods and to save lives.
El Niño has arrived — and it will likely be the hottest in human history. It may already have made its presence felt in the April-May heat wave in Asia. The current heat waves in Mexico and the U.S. bear its imprint too.
A major oil tanker expressway in the Persian Gulf, once thought a low-risk area, is actually a highly vulnerable hotspot for monster waves, new research reveals.
A new survey is being initiated between Brunel University London, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), and Agency for the Assessment & Application of Technology (BPPT). Over the next three years, they will be gathering data on Indonesia's tectonic faults, and developing simulations and strategies for the tsunami-ravaged country to better protect itself.
New research from Brunel University London finds that September’s deadly Indonesian tsunami was probably caused by an earthquake-induced submarine landslide off Sulawesi Island’s west coast. This finding clarifies how a moderate and horizontally-rupturing earthquake could have triggered such a devastating tsunami.
A new centre to help bolster the UK’s defences against flooding has launched at Brunel University London. The Centre for Flood Risk and Resilience (CFR2) will offer a suite of Chartered Institution of Water and Environment Management (CIWEM) accredited e-learning programmes aimed at professionals.
New research led by Brunel University London has revealed the potential threat of a large earthquake and tsunami off the shore of Ecuador and Colombia, to the north of last year’s major tremor. The 2016 event was the largest damaging earthquake to hit the area in decades.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
