The Human-Tech Nexus - Building a Safe Haven to cope with Climate Extremes

Descrizione del progetto

La gestione dei rischi per affrontare le catastrofi climatiche, sempre più frequenti ed estreme

I cambiamenti climatici stanno provocando un aumento della frequenza e dell’intensità delle catastrofi naturali. I disastri globali legati al clima sono quasi raddoppiati nei primi due decenni di questo secolo. Il progetto The HuT, finanziato dall’UE, affronterà le crescenti sfide poste dai fenomeni estremi indotti dai cambiamenti climatici, quali incendi boschivi, siccità, ondate di calore, frane, inondazioni e tempeste. Per promuovere l’adozione di strumenti e approcci transdisciplinari per la gestione dei rischi, il progetto si avvarrà di soluzioni all’avanguardia per la riduzione dei rischi di catastrofe. Inoltre, The HuT integrerà le migliori prassi e le esperienze di successo di istituzioni europee di spicco, nonché delle parti interessate. Scienziati, tecnici, professionisti, responsabili delle politiche e comunità locali collaboreranno nell’ambito di 10 dimostratori di eventi associati ai fenomeni climatici estremi.

Obiettivo

The HuT will employ innovative disaster risk reduction solutions, accounting for the potential variations induced by climate change. This will involve integrating and leveraging best practices and successful multi-disciplinary experiences that have been recently developed within various territorial contexts by leading European research groups, institutions, and stakeholders, to deal with extreme climate events. The project’s main ambition beyond the state of the art is to promote the “best set” of trans-disciplinary risk management tools and approaches that could be adopted and used extensively across Europe, in as many situations as possible. The activities of the project will be developed considering the following main critical dimensions: trans-disciplinarity, systemic risk, co-production, cross-fertilization, transferability, and long-term legacy.

A set of ten demonstrators will constitute a multi-hazard arena wherein possible disastrous events associated with climate extremes will be dealt with jointly by representatives of the scientific and technical communities, practitioners, policy-makers and local communities. The events associated to climate extremes that will be considered in this project are: forest fires, including wildland urban interface fires; meteorological/hydrological/agricultural droughts, including associated water shortage; heatwaves; weather-induced landslides, including debris flows; fluvial and pluvial floods; storms, including heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, and storm surges. The HuT will mainly focus on the prevention and preparedness phases of the disaster risk management cycle, explicitly considering climate change scenarios and integrating the proposed set of solutions, for the various events considered, over short- (from days to several months) and long-term (from years to decades) time horizons.
