Invited perspectives: A research agenda towards disaster risk management pathways in multi-(hazard-)risk assessment

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 EU. We present challenges as outlined projects papers. then agenda addressing these challenges. argue an approach that addresses through lens sustainability cut across sectors, regions, approach, starting point is specific challenge, rather than individual hazard or sector, trade-offs synergies examined in-depth case studies which various approaches co-developed tested practice. Finally, new pan-European project our proposed will be implemented, goal enabling stakeholders develop forward-looking disaster pathways assess strategies hazards, spatial scales.
