This study aims to test a methodology for teaching people about the characteristics of each post-disaster phase concerning road infrastructure and business continuity.
This paper aims to identify state-of-the-art data sources for building damage assessment and provide guidance for more efficient data collection. Earthquakes are one of the most catastrophic natural phenomena.
Climate change is driving a large increase in intense, slow-moving storms, a new study by Newcastle University and the Met Office has found.
Rising temperatures will intensify future rainfall extremes at a much greater rate than average rainfall, with largest increases to short thunderstorms.
Even a modest sea level rise, triggered by increasing global temperatures, would place 100 airports below mean sea level by 2100, a new study has found.
New research has analysed the trade-offs between different sustainability objectives in urban planning. These include minimising climate risks such as heat waves and flooding, while reducing emissions and urban sprawl and protecting green space. It suggests that the current approach to planning cities will have to drastically change to balance these future trade-offs.
New research identifies limonene - released by marigolds, a type of plant - as a repellent that deters tomato whiteflies and slows them down. These findings can pave the way to developing a safer and cheaper alternative to pesticides, with the reassurance that limonene will not cause the whiteflies to develop resistance.
New research shows that climate warming affects farmlands by increasing pests but not their natural predators, resulting in reduced crop yields. The study provides the first experimental evidence of how the interactions between agricultural plants, greenflies and tiny parasitoid wasps are affected in a world where temperatures are increased by 1.4°C.
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.
