A new deep-learning based model developed by the University of Freiburg and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) calculates for the first time how heat stress will develop on each square meter of a city in the future.
Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now developed a first method based on artificial intelligence (AI), by means of which the precision of coarse precipitation fields generated by global climate models can be increased.
Two studies by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology investigated effects of precipitation, evaporation, water flow, and runoff on flooding. To improve preparedness, risk assessments shall emphasize landscape, river courses, and sediment transport.
Groundwater levels in Germany threaten to fall in the next decades, due to climate change. This is the result of a study made by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR).
To better estimate flood risks, risk maps should also consider historical data. This is recommended by the Center for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Technology.
In many countries, the tourism industry plays an important role in advancing development and makes a significant contribution to the local, national and global economy.
Every year, worldwide wine industry suffers losses of more than ten billion US dollars from damaged assets, production losses, and lost profits due to extreme weather events and disasters
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.
