Ce document vise principale…
In this paper, researchers search for the most extreme heatwaves in Ile-de-France that are physically plausible, under climate change scenarios, for the decades around 2024. 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 case study accounts for local practice influencing recovery through interviews with stakeholders involved in post-disaster management in the region. Recent natural-hazard events have shown that post-disaster education continuity is still a significant global challenge.The analyses reveal that early response financing mechanisms can help speed up ed…
The Greater London Authority (GLA) has commissioned Arup to carry out this study in recognition of the need for better data to inform a long-term and sustained approach to locate and target interventions in London’s built environment. Urban heat risk is an ever-growing pressure on London’s physical environment and its people, with the most vulnerable pe…
This study examines whether disasters can impact general political trust and if disaster relief efforts can mitigate effects related to political trust. Political trust is foundational to democratic legitimacy, representative governance, and the provision of effective public policy. Various shocks can influence this trust, steering countries onto positi…
The objective of the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA) is to estimate the impact of the storm and floods on physical assets and service delivery in the most affected areas and take stock of the ensuing recovery needs. The RDNA covers 20 municipalities and provides in in-depth analysis of the five most affected cities (Derna, Soussa, Al-Bayda, Al-…
This background report supports the aim of the European Commission to establish a better understanding of drought impacts and risks for different sectors of society, raise awareness amongst all water stakeholders regarding the increased risk of drought due to climate change, exchange information on effective options for dealing with drought risk and ste…
This submission serves as the first Adaptation Communication from The Republic of Korea (ROK), tracking sustained efforts and actions towards adaptation, as required by Article 7, Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Paris Agreement and Decision 9/CMA.1. The aim of this communication is to increase the visibility and profile of adaptation, reflect the adaptation…
This publication investigates the integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS)-based climate services in seasonal climate forecasting. The success of anticipatory action (AA) in climate change related disaster risk reduction depends largely on the ability to accurately predict adverse weather events and to subsequently take appropriate and timely a…
The main objective of this quarterly report is to show how the European Crisis Management Laboratory (ECML) Mapping Team at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) plays a key role in delineating all the components of disaster event phases with its daily situational awareness reports (ECHO Daily Flash and Daily Maps) and on-demand products (ECHO Situation Maps/…
The purpose of the guide is to support civil society organisations to engage with communities and other actors and structures at the local level; to play a central role in planning and establishing local mechanisms for anticipatory action and drive the process of scaling up anticipatory action. Including through collaboration with mandated, technical an…
Climate change speaks through the weather, which is different from what humanity is used to. Normal no longer exists. This issue looks back past, present and future. Deltares considers uncertainties, such as climate change and how this challenge is tackled in New Zealand (interview with professor Judy Lawrence). Also considered are the global challenges…
Using a high-resolution dataset of 8.2 million households in Bangladesh’s coastal zone, researchers assess the extent to which infrastructure service disruptions induced by flood, cyclone and erosion hazards can thwart progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate hazards pose increasing threats to development outcomes across the wo…
This report provides a summary of selected significant extreme weather and climate events which occurred across Australia in 2023. The report provides a description of each event and an explanation which reflects our understanding of the causes.The report also provides an overview of selected international events including Antarctica. This document…
This study aims to understand how climate-related risks and hazards are reshaping traditional avenues of job entry and employment, particularly for young people in Pakistan. This brief is aimed at policymakers, academia, international/non-governmental organizations (I/NGOs) and civil society groups, who can use these messages to develop and implem…
