Abstract. Whilst the last decades have seen a clear shift in emphasis from managing natural hazards to risk, majority of natural-hazard risk research still focuses on single hazards. Internationally, there are calls for more attention multi-hazards and multi-risks. Within European Union (EU), concepts multi-hazard multi-risk assessment management taken centre stage recent years. In this perspective paper, we outline several key developments multi-(hazard-)risk decade, with particular focus...
Abstract. Flood risk management generally relies on economic assessments performed by using flood loss models of different complexity, ranging from simple univariable to more complex multivariable models. The latter account for a large number hazard, exposure and vulnerability factors, being potentially robust when extensive input information is available. We collected comprehensive data set related three recent major events in northern Italy (Adda 2002, Bacchiglione 2010 Secchia 2014),...
Abstract. A variety of models have been applied to assess the economic losses disasters, which most common ones are input–output (IO) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. In addition, an increasing number scholars developed hybrid approaches: one that combines both or either them in combination with noneconomic methods. While IO CGE widely used, they mainly compared on theoretical grounds. Few studies disaster impacts different model types a systematic way for same geographical...
Water resources is a crucial environmental good for the function of human societies and ecosystems. Moreover, water an important input economy indispensable factor economic growth. Especially in regions that are facing scarcity, adoption management policies approaches fostering sustainable use while promoting growth becomes emerging issue. The Mediterranean region one most vulnerable regarding availability due to climate change activities. Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus offers integrated...
COVID-19 has revealed how challenging it is to manage global, systemic and compounding crises. Like COVID-19, climate change impacts, maladaptive responses them, have potential disrupt societies at multiple scales via networks of trade, finance, mobility communication, impact hardest on the most vulnerable. However, these complex systems can also facilitate resilience if managed effectively. This review aims distil lessons related transboundary management risks from experience, inform policy...
Quote: "What I hear, forget. What see, remember. do, understand." (Xunzi, ∼300 BCE). Modelling complex interactions involving climatic features, socio-economic vulnerability or responses, and long impact transmissions is associated with substantial uncertainty. Physical climate storylines are proposed as an approach to explore transmission pathways possible alternative unfoldings of event cascades under future conditions. These particularly useful for risk assessment domains, including...
Rethinking cities in a more sustainable and integrated way is key opportunity for successful climate change adaptation disaster risk management. Nature-based solutions green infrastructures can help to safeguard urban nature biodiversity while providing multiple benefits reduce risks improve human well-being. mitigate flood by regulating storm-water runoff peak-flow. This paper investigates the effects of nature-based infrastructure networks on pluvial Milan metropolitan area terms direct...
Abstract In late 2000, the European Union adopted Water Framework Directive (WFD) and funded a series of research innovation projects to support its implementation. One these was MULINO project (MULti-sectoral, INtegrated Operational Decision Support System for Sustainable Use Resources at Catchment Scale). Its main product decision system (mDSS) tool designed help water managers make choices related WFD implementation in participatory manner. After end MULINO, long sequence allowed...
This paper presents the NetSyMoD approach - where NetSyMod stands for Network Analysis Creative System Modelling Decision Support. It represents outcome of several years research at FEEM in field natural resources management, environmental evaluation and decision-making, within Natural Resources Management Research Programme. is a flexible comprehensive methodological framework, which uses suite support tools, aimed facilitating involvement stakeholders or experts decision-making processes....
Flood damage assessments are often based on stage-damage curve (SDC) models that estimate economic as a function of flood characteristics (typically depths) and land use. SDCs developed through site-specific analysis, but rarely adjusted to circumstances in areas which they applied. In Italy, confide SDC elsewhere, even if empirical reports collected after every major event. this paper, we have tested, adapted extended an up-to-date model using records from Northern Italy. The calibration is...
Measuring disaster resilience is a key component of successful risk management and climate change adaptation. Quantitative, indicator-based assessments are typically applied to evaluate by combining various indicators performance into single composite index. Building upon extensive research on social vulnerability coping/adaptive capacity, we first develop an original, comprehensive index (CDRI) at municipal level across Italy, support the implementation Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk...
Abstract. In March 2015, a new international blueprint for disaster risk reduction (DRR) was adopted in Sendai, Japan, at the end of Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR, 14–18 2015). We review and discuss agreed commitments targets, as well negotiation leading Sendai Framework DRR (SFDRR) briefly its implication later UN-led negotiations sustainable development goals climate change.

The European Union's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 seeks to protect 30% of land, with 10% under strict protection, while building a transnational nature network. We explore the effects targets land use and ecosystem services across system. To do so, we propose novel approach, combining methodological framework improving green network connectivity an EU-wide system model. identify improved EU protected areas consistent targets, its different levels protection in range paired climatic...
