Summary: While the last decade saw huge scientific advances in the understanding of natural hazard risk, most research and policy still address risk from a single-hazard, single-sector perspective not taking into account the interconnected reality of these events. MYRIAD-EU’s vision is to catalyse the paradigm shift required to move towards a multi-risk, multi-sector, systemic approach to risk assessment and management. To achieve this vision, the overall aim is that by the end of MYRIAD-EU policy-makers, decision-makers, and practitioners will be able to develop forward-looking disaster risk management pathways that assess trade-offs and synergies across sectors, hazards, and scales. The project will focus on five multi-scale Pilot regions, in which we aim to better understand indirect, interregional, and cross-sectoral risk within Europe.
