Multi-hazard and sYstemic framework for enhancing Risk-Informed mAnagement and Decision-making in the E.U.

Project description

Forward-looking disaster risk management pathways

Protecting people, property, environment, and cultural heritage against disaster is a priority at the national and EU level. It is important for EU policymakers, decision-makers and practitioners across the Member States to come together to develop forward-looking disaster risk management pathways that assess trade-offs and synergies across sectors, hazards and scales. In this context, the EU-funded MYRIAD-EU project will inspire the introduction of a multi-risk, multi-sector, systemic approach to risk management. In addition to a web-based dashboard for navigating the framework, the project will also develop a laboratory of systemic multi-hazard risk assessment and management. The project will co-develop the framework with stakeholders in five multi-scale pilots: the North Sea, Canary Islands, Scandinavia, Danube and Veneto.

Objective

MYRIAD-EU’s vision is to catalyse the paradigm shift required to move towards a multi-risk, multi-sector, systemic approach to risk management. Our aim is that by the end of MYRIAD-EU policy-makers, decision-makers, and practitioners can develop forward-looking disaster risk management pathways that assess trade-offs and synergies across sectors, hazards, and scales. We will co-develop the first harmonised framework for multi-hazard, multi-sector, systemic risk management. It provides a set of practical guidelines for carrying out a multi-risk assessment, formalised in guidance protocols. We will develop a web-based dashboard for navigating the framework, which gives access to state-of-the-art products and services of MYRIAD-EU and links to key resources from external projects. Central to MYRIAD-EU is a laboratory of systemic multi-hazard risk assessment and management. Within this laboratory, we co-develop the framework, and products and services to operationalise the framework, with stakeholders in five multi-scale Pilots: North Sea, Canary Islands, Scandinavia, Danube, Veneto. Each Pilot focuses on (interlinkages between) three of the following six sectors: infrastructure & transport, food & agriculture, ecosystems & forestry, energy, finance, tourism. For each Pilot, we examine multi-hazard risk within the region, as well as indirect, cross-sectoral, and interregional risks throughout the EU. MYRIAD-EU is designed to maximise impact. Our laboratory ensures that designing solutions to real-world challenges is central and that stakeholder co-development occurs throughout the project. To ensure that we reach key stakeholders, our consortium includes a Sectoral Representative for each of our key sectors - a leading institute from practice with an excellent network. MYRIAD-EU sets itself apart from other projects by addressing multi-hazard risk management through the lens of forward-looking sustainability challenges cutting across sectors, regions, and hazards.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
