Improving flood resilience of communities requires a holistic understanding risks and options as well the preferences priorities different stakeholders. Innovations in risk assessment have helped to identify gaps their management strategy but selecting implementing solutions remains big challenge for many decision-makers. In addition traditional appraisals cost-benefit assessments this also calls participatory process which various stakeholders are encouraged adopt system-level approach...
The escalating impact of disasters underscores the urgency building resilient communities. Interactions among community stakeholders play a pivotal role in fostering resilience but improving such interactions is often hindered by competing priorities and resource limitations. To address this challenge, paper proposes decision support tool aimed at prioritizing context-specific interventions that enhance stakeholder disaster management. includes two phases: (1) impact-based prioritization,...
In response to increasing demands for information on disasters and extreme events by the policy, practice, research communities, there has been a recent surge in approaches measurement of applied risk management resilience. Nevertheless, very few these address systemic risks, particularly multi-hazard environments, thus do not holistically contribute decision making various contexts. This paper addresses this gap means critical review an assessment climate disaster resilience with particular...
Abstract The economic risks from climate change can be separated into two categories: physical increased frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events, transition due to rapid decarbonisation leading stranded assets shifts in production the labour market. On global level, are widely recognized as trade-offs by academic policy literature: increases while reducing risks, vice versa for a delayed reduction greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, little is known about interaction between on...
Flood risk is increasing across the world due to climate change and socio-economic development, calling for a shift from traditional protection post-event activism towards forward-looking, risk-aware, more holistic resilience approach. The national legal system of countries can play an important role in creating encouraging such shift. In this study, we explore potentials shortcomings laws managing flood context change. We analyze 139 33 collected Climate Change Laws World Disaster Law...
GAM, combining games and agent-based models, shows potential for investigating complex social phenomena. Games offer engaging environments generating insights into dynamics, perceptions, behaviours, while models support the analysis of complexity. share important ability both to input output qualitative quantitative data. Currently, there is no overview GAM approaches. In a systematic literature review, we identified six research design types in empirical studies date. The functional range...

While artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions to address climate change impacts, it also raises many application limitations and challenges. A risk governance perspective is used analyze the role of AI in supporting decision-making for adaptation, spanning assessment, policy analysis, implementation. This comprehensive review combines expert insights systematic literature review. The study's findings indicate a large emphasis on applying "risk assessments," particularly...
Ground water scarcity is a main socio-ecological challenge in the Middle East.While ground reserves seem vast, impacts of over-exploitation and inadequate control over consumption may threaten sustainability aquifers.The signs aquifer depletion its influence on accessibility have become apparent recent years.Using case Rafsanjan Township, Iran, this study aims to understand factors their inter-relationships driving exacerbating crisis situation, ongoing policy responses possible consequences...
The discovery of oil in the middle 20th century has triggered an unprecedented economic boom and urban expansion countries Gulf region such as Kuwait, Qatar, or UAE. Kuwait’s population increased 7-fold since 1950s – mostly driven by immigration - creating need for large scale housing development projects. With a strong focus on provision car-centric planning approach environmental consequences these developments were often not fully evaluated. In combination with...
