Climate change is manifested by pronounced negative impacts on the society and ecosystems. Increasing heat extremes, heavy precipitation events, droughts and other hazards, put a strain on the health systems, economies, and natural environments of Europe. Therefore, understanding and projecting future hydro-meteorological variability and occurrence of extremes, as well as their impacts are key scientific challenges crucial to the development and implementation of sustainable management practices and policies.
The “International Conference on Hydro-Climate Extremes and Society” will gather experts, policy-makers, and members of professional societies from across the region and beyond to explore hydro-climatic risks and adaptation measures.
SYRR Research Scholar Robert Sakic Trogrlic has been invited to give a presentation on "Multi-hazard risk assessment and management: towards a framework based on systems thinking" from the research project MYRIAD-EU.
MYRIAD-EU
MYRIAD-EU’s vision is to catalyse the required paradigm shift in disaster risk management, by co-developing the first harmonized framework for multi-hazard, multi-sector, extreme and systemic risk management. The overall aim is that by the end of MYRIAD-EU policy-makers, decision-makers, and practitioners will be able to develop forward-looking disaster risk management pathways that assess trade-offs and synergies of various strategies across sectors, hazards, and scales. The core scientific activity is to enable this through the co-development of cutting-edge knowledge, products, and services. This is done together with stakeholders (in five multi-scale Pilots (North Sea, Canary Islands, Scandinavia, Danube, Veneto). Each Pilot focuses on forward-looking DRM solutions to real-world sustainability challenges faced by six key sectors: infrastructure & transport, food & agriculture, ecosystems & forestry, energy, finance, and tourism.
