Опубликована: Июль 4, 2022

Recent disasters have demonstrated the challenges faced by society as a result of increasing complexity disaster risk. In this perspective article, we discuss complex interactions between hazards and vulnerability suggest methodological approaches to assess include dynamics in our risk assessments, learning from compound multi-hazard, socio-hydrology, socio-ecological research communities. We argue for changed perspective, starting with circumstances that determine dynamic vulnerability. identify three types vulnerability: (1) underlying vulnerability, (2) changes during long-lasting disasters, (3) compounding societal shocks. conclude there is great potential capture using qualitative model-based methods, both reproducing historic projecting future provide examples narratives, agent-based models, system dynamics.

Abstract Storms include a range of weather events resulting in heavy liquid and solid precipitation high winds. These critically impact crops natural resources and, turn, health, economy, infrastructure safety. The intensity frequency the physical mechanisms triggering storms will most likely increase under global warming due to changing flows water energy atmosphere. Addressing storm threats holistically requires nexus approach that links climate change, infrastructure, human prosperity well-being, contributing achieving UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This work introduces Module United Nations University (UNU) Sustainability Nexus Analytics, Informatics, Data (AID) Programme. paper aims emphasize importance AID tools addressing impacts through data-driven recognizes connections between hazards, policy, society. Today, are instrumental understanding making informed decisions manage them. contribute archiving monitoring data, employing predictive models early warning systems, estimating risk, conducting post-storm analysis, aiding preparedness, response, recovery efforts. lists freely available tools, including large databases, simulation for preparedness. Over next years, new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, expected revolutionize understanding, forecasting, adaptive planning. However, especially operational use AI caution is advised potential limitations regarding data quality, ethical concerns, cybersecurity risks, need legal frameworks.

Resilience of countries to COVID-19 correlated with trust

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2022

Abstract We characterized > 150 countries’ resilience to COVID-19 as the nationwide decay rate of daily cases or deaths from peak levels. Resilience varies by a factor ~ 40 between countries for cases/capita and 25 deaths/capita. Trust within society is positively correlated with country-level COVID-19, adaptive increase in stringency government interventions when epidemic waves occur. By contrast, where governments maintain greater background tend have lower trust be less resilient. All 40% agree “most people can trusted” achieve near complete reduction new deaths, but so do several less-trusting societies. As pandemic progressed, tended decline, increases also declined. These results add evidence that improve epidemics other unexpected disruptions, which unlikely last.
