Exceptional heat is expected to affect a large part of England early this week, with temperatures likely in…
Climate change is destroying heritage sites across Europe and globally. Ancient historical landmarks could disappear completely unless swift action is taken to protect them from environmental damage, researchers are warning.
Future generations may never get to explore streets conquered by medieval knights in Greece, city quarters built by the Islamic e…
The ‘Call for Papers’ on ‘Adaptive Pathways for Resilient Infrastructure’ will seek to address gaps and highlight solutions related to uptake and implementation of adaptive pathways, fostering resilience of infrastructure systems to disasters and climate change, towards long-term sustainability. This Special Issue seeks evidence-based science, case-stud…
About Technical Conference
The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) aims to bolster global thinking and action on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (DRI) through knowledge creation, curation and dissemination.
With this background, CDRI is organizing a technical conference, DRI Technical Conference 2022. The conference will…
CDRI is organizing a technical conference in October 2022. The conference will be complemented by a Special Issue of the Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure journal, on the theme 'Adaptive Pathways for Resilient Infrastructure.' The initiative aims to promote multidisciplinary approaches for disaster and climate resilient infrastructure that has tr…

Loss and damage is happening now and will only escalate with every increment of global warming. Despite the scale of this gathering crisis, limited action is being taken to address the risks of loss and damage the most vulnerable countries and communities face, who are already being hit by climate shocks with…
Austin, Texas — More of the world’s coastal glaciers are melting faster than ever, but exactly what’s triggering the large-scale retreat has been difficult to pin down because of natural fluctuations in the glaciers’ surroundings. Now, researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) and Georgia Tech have developed a methodology th…
Much of the world's agricultural trade must passage through one or more maritime chokepoints. How might events relating to climate change disrupt such crucial trade arteries, and how might the impacts cascade globally and into Europe in particular?
The uninterrupted passage of staple agricultural commodities through several physical ‘chokepoints’ along…
Extreme rainfall occurred in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and neighbouring countries during the period 12 to 15 July 2021, leading to severe flooding particularly in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany and along the river Meuse and some of its tributaries in Belgium and the Netherlands. The most affected areas are around the river…
Data is a powerful tool for understanding the health effects of climate change. That’s why we’ve mapped 120 years of climate data to show where four climate-related health risks (drought, flooding, extreme heat and disease) have been recorded. What's crucial now is filling the gaps in the data so we can find ways to protect those communities most at ris…
The climate risk report for the East Africa region is part of a series of standardised regional climate risk reports the Met Office is producing in collaboration with ODI. Understanding future climate risks depends on analysing both future climate conditions, and the socio-economic vulnerabilities exposed by those conditions. Climate risks threaten huma…
This paper draws upon the results of a recent study to examine the drivers, patterns, and impacts of internal displacement linked with disasters in the greater Port Vila area and surrounding communities. Vanuatu has the world’s highest disaster risk and its capital, Port Vila, has been ranked the world’s most exposed city to natural hazards. C…
This paper draws upon recent research in Ba Town to examine the drivers, patterns, and impacts of internal displacement linked with disasters. Disasters have triggered around 153,000 displacements in Fiji, since IDMC started systematically collecting data in 2008. Rapid urbanisation, particularly the growth of informal settlements, is increasing ex…
A new platform which will make access and use of earth observation (EO) data easier for environmental, government, and even business forecasts and operations has been announced by Horizon Europe’s EU-funded innovation consortium EO4EU during their launch on 29-30 June 2022, in Athens, Greece.
At any given time, satellites trained towards the Earth regu…
