Extreme heatwaves that may have happened once every decade are in danger of becoming an annual occurrence unless steps are taken to address climate change, a study suggests.
A panel of invited experts from climate change, disaster and health research will discuss the current pandemic (the lessons and opportunities), and the role of climate change and disaster researchers in supporting green and resilient recovery.
This session will draw on experiences of working to promote a gendered intersectional approach during the processes to develop the SDGs and the Sendai framework, and considerations of this approach in practice in the context of Latin America, focu
This webinar explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on disaster research in the UK. This discussion will be informed by a survey of UKADR members as well as insights from expert panellists.
Professor Mark Pelling will introduce the Global Challenges Research Fund and set the scene.
A new study shows that future heatwaves, which are expected to be more severe, may be influenced by levels of man-made particles in the atmosphere. Understanding how these tiny particles behave could help scientists improve heatwave predictions, and measures to limit their impacts, over the next century.
Experts are developing a satellite-based system to improve monitoring and forecasting of extreme weather and natural disasters anywhere in the world. The newly formed International Center for Earth Data will gather, process and deliver weather information from public and commercial sources for researchers, governments and commercial enterprises around the world.
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.
