    UC Irvine public health experts highlight climate change-driven nutrition gaps

    Climate change is reducing the nutritional quality of everyday foods and disrupting supplies, increasing health risks for vulnerable communities. UC Irvine experts say supplements may help fill gaps but are no substitute for broader food‑system solutions.

    Scientists urged to pull the plug on ‘bathtub modeling’ of flood risk

    In a new paper in the American Geophysical Union journal Earth’s Future, researchers at UC Irvine and the U.K.’s University of Bristol suggest that outdated “bathtub modeling” of flood risk is limited in its ability to capture six key factors.

    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.
