Event Description
Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) is a 10-year global collaboration that supports cities around the world to strengthen their climate and disaster resilience. Aiming to Leave No Municipalit…
Event Overview
Governments are on the ‘frontline of opportunity’ in this era of Climate Emergency and a third year of the global COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the biggest dividend in avoided future disaster losses can be reaped at the level of municipalities.
The evidence is clear: those governments, including local, that invest to better under…
Executive Summary
Climate crises threaten to displace 1.2 billion people by 2050, with the cost of adapting to these new threats estimated to reach the range of $280 billion to $500 billion per year. Vulnerable people and regions, including sub-Saharan Africa, will be disproportionately impacted. Yet climate-vulnerable countries have received minimal f…
Objective
This webinar intends to mark the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2021, focusing on Northeast Asia regional cooperation for technology application for disaster risk reduction. It will profile good practices and lessons from China, Korea, and Japan to leverage frontier technologies to ensure resilience and mitigate disaste…
“Youth and Young professionals (YYPs) are leading their way in DRR and climate actions. Greater efforts are required to institutionalize their engagement and appropriately draw on their capacities'' - the Co-chair Summary of the 2019 GPDRR.
In preparation for the next Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR2022) UNESCO and U-INSPIRE Alliance…
This research studies how states acquire science-based advice and if existing structures facilitate the space for science-based advice in disaster risk management. The report is based on collection and analysis of publicly available material and covers all the countries included in the EU Civil Protection Mechanism in three domains of disaster risk mana…
This publication summarises the key learnings from the workshop: how mobile phone technologies are used in DRM, and the opportunities and lessons for applied research. In October 2020, the Science for Humanitarian Emergencies and Resilience (SHEAR) programme hosted a virtual workshop which explored the use of mobile technologies to support disaster…
In this paper, the authors suggest how natural hazard research scientists can better contribute to the planning and development of sustainable and resilient communities through improved engagement in disaster risk reduction (DRR). Building on existing good practice, this perspective piece aims to provoke discussion in the natural hazard science communit…
This policy brief analyses some of the existing institutional constraints, as well opportunities, for systematic and robust coordination among scientists/researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the field of disaster risk management in India. Building on the recent experience of the Himalayan Tsunami, it suggests a set of action points and a fram…
This report examines the potential role of remote sensing (and related technological developments such as machine learning) to secure better asset-level data and at higher refresh rates. In particular it focuses on using remote sensing to identify the features and use of assets relevant to determining their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Remote se…
This document summaries the use of UAV technology for local capacity building in Fiji and Tonga. Due to this technology they have been able to generate better data on disaster risk. This, in turn, has enabled them to carry out stronger analysis and make more informed disaster risk management decisions.
This guidance note explores how new approaches in machine learning can provide new ways of looking into the complex relationships between models, and the actual understanding of the potential impacts of a hazard on the built environment and society. It aims to provide more accurate, efficient, and useful answers.
Evidence-driven disaster risk managemen…

Nor will the current pandemic be the last. According to a 2019 report from the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, pandemic events are on the rise. Yet overall the global response is dangerously reactive, poorly coordinated and undermined by a “lack of continued political will.”

Fortunately, we have tools at our dis…
