How Effective Risk Assessment and Management Is the Key to Turning Volcanic Islands into a Source of Nature-Based Solutions

Active volcanic islands are particularly vulnerable to multi-risk natural hazards, many of which anticipated become more severe as a result climate change. It is crucial create and put into action adequate risk mitigation plans based on comprehensive long-term hazard assessments that include nature-based solutions in order improve societal safety these islands. Herein, we study the case Tenerife. After compilation analysis potential resources this island, well its main hazards how they currently managed, have determined most viable ones. Land management prior assessment island’s key strengthening Tenerife’s current plans. This will allow for two-way relationship between exploitation sustainable tourism education population, both oriented toward conservation geological heritage, promote use energy material being exploited. contribution thus establishes pillars from exploit offered by Tenerife only option economic development.
