Security for Natural Systems, Tuesday 24 November

Hosted by Politecnico di Milano

The economic and social impact of losses due to natural disasters amounts to global costs of about 100 billion U.S. dollars per year. Understanding and assessing risks and their consequences is a critical step towards the development of local, national and international strategies within all compartments of the risk management cycle. The assessment of Multiple disaster impacts, consequences (and related awareness) rely on knowledge gained about historical data and lessons learned as well as the ability to forecast and quantify future risks under uncertainty, including impacts of pandemics as well as global changes, such as climate evolution and environment dynamics. The interaction between natural and anthropogenic systems adds complexity and challenges to the problem. These topics will be discussed during the UASR Thematic Symposium on “Security for Natural systems”. 

All interested researchers and students are encouraged to participate in this exciting event!
