Disaster Risk Reduction A Global Process - State of Play
2
Climate Change Greater severity and frequency – are we ready?
Sweden © BBC Climate Change Greater severity and frequency – are we ready? Wan can science and innovation tell us? What is needed? Italy © JCS
3
Demography & Urbanization
France ©B.Peter Czech Republic ©BBC Demography & Urbanization Increased exposure – increased risk? How to ensure resilient infrastructure? What role for innovation and technologies? USA ©Anthrophysis
4
New and emerging risks Difficult to predict Element of surprise
Little or know evidence Probable High impact Neglected Known hazard Impacts greater than thought Predictable?
5
Cyber risks A world of unknown unknowns
Unprecedented vulnerability of interconnected systems Cascade effects and systemic impacts – across sectors and borders Challenge: little historical evidence and rapidly changing patterns of exposure and vulnerabilities ©UNODC
6
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
Shift from managing disasters to managing risks People-centered preventive approach to DRR Primary responsibility of States Engagement of all stakeholders
7
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
Natural Climate-induced Technological Biological Emerging & new risks Intensive risks Small-scale events Slow-onset disasters Reduce disaster mortality Reduce impact on populations Reduce economic losses Reduce impact on critical infrastructures Increase number of DRR National strategies Increase international cooperation Increase MH-EWS & risk information
8
Reducing exposure & vulnerability
Building resilience of cities Combatting climate change & developing adaptive capacity
9
Monitoring Sendai Framework implementation in Europe
DRR ownership Sendai Focal Point DRR Strategies National & Local National Platforms In place & active Disaster Loss Databases in place Sendai Targets Reporting progress Regional Dynamics EU
10
Where efforts are needed ? How can R&I help?
Disaggregated information about where risks exist Knowledge about creation of new risks Awareness of cascading effects Knowledge of climate change future impact Increased investments in S&T Wider application of geospatial information

« Connections between social, environmental and economic risks require an integrated, multi-hazard, cross-sectoral approach to assessing risk and a deeper understanding of social and environmental vulnerability » 2018 Report of the United Nations Secretary-General « One of the great learnings from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami which can be applied in many other disaster-prone countries is the absolute importance of preparing populations at risk for the worst-case scenario » M. Wahlström, former SRSG
