The Summer Olympic Games in 2024 will take place during the apex of the temperature seasonal cycle in the Paris Area. The mid-latitudes of the Northern hemisphere have witnessed a f…
This paper provides quantitative evidence on the geography of regional readiness to tackle climate change using data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Following Cappellano et al. (2022), we estimate a composite indicator that reports the situation of regions in these countries between 2009 and 2020 regarding the directionality of their Sci…
Working together in Europe and the Mediterranean for the prevention of disasters, preparedness and response:
The objective of this plan is to provide a political and technical instrument containing priorities and guidelines for the action of the European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement (EUR-OPA) for the next five years, improving its effectiv…
This bilateral agreement between France and Malaysia provides for mutual assistance in case of natural or man-made disasters and cooperation in disaster risk reduction.
This book provides an overview of OECD countries' efforts to collect information on both the economic impacts of disasters and the level of public resources invested in the management of risk. It is based on the results of an OECD survey, two expert meetings held in 2014 and 2016 as well as complementary research conducted by the OECD Secretariat.

This report presents, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the finance provided by the G7 group, as the main causers of climate change and main providers of climate finance, to developing countries for climate change adaptation and to what extent it promotes gender equality. This analysis is based on the over 16,000 projects in the OECD datab…
This policy paper comprises an issue brief and background report prepared by the OECD for the G7 Environment, Energy and Oceans Ministers. It outlines the rising risks faced by coastal communities, which are being exacerbated by climate change. It shows how governments can harness innovation in information, planning, financing and monitoring to help imp…
While investors are paying more attention to climate change, there is a lack of granular data designed to support financial decisions. Climate science can provide improved indicators and metrics to help investors better manage physical climate risks. This report presents the first results of the ERA4CS-JPI Climate project ClimINVEST aimed at co-designin…
Records of grape harvest dates (GHDs) are the oldest and the longest continuous phenological data in Europe. However, many available series, including the well-known (Dijon) Burgundy series, are error prone because scholars so far have uncritically drawn the data from 19th century publications instead of going back to the archives. In this report, t…
Following the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its spread outside of China, Europe is now experiencing large epidemics. In response, many European countries have implemented unprecedented non-pharmaceutical interventions including case isolation, the closure of schools and universities, banning of mass gatherings and/or public events, a…
The earthquake simulator consists of:
* A vibrating board/table on which test can be set up. It simulates the tremors of an earthquake using three independent electric motors.
* A secure enclosure consisting of a staircase with a balustrade and a guard rail.
* Lights that glow according to the intensity of the tremor.
* A console to control the vibratin…
Cette carte représente une estimation de la population et des logements exposés aux inondations.
Le Service de l’observation et des statistiques (SOeS) du ministère chargé du développement durable a développé un modèle pour estimer la population et les logements au sein de territoires infra-communaux. Ce modèle combine des données géographiques et stat…
The preparation of this National Progress Report has been undertaken within the framework of the biennial 2007-09 HFA Monitoring and Progress Review process, facilitated by UNISDR and ISDR System partners.
The progress report assesses current national strategic priorities with regard to the implementation of disaster risk reduction actions, and establi…
In this study, the authors interrogate drivers and barriers of societal transformation in natural hazard management through case studies in Austria, France and Ireland focusing on attempts to integrate multi-functional protection schemes in the context of flood and avalanche hazards.
The authors find that transformative approaches have been mainly supp…
In this study, the authors explore the potentials and shortcomings of national laws in managing flood risk and increasing flood resilience in the context of climate change. They analyze 139 laws from 33 countries collected from the Climate Change Laws of the World and Disaster Law databases and underpin this with case studies to gain insights on the int…
