Building a safe haven for coping with climate extremes

In Europe, in the last 40 years, extreme climate events have caused economic losses amounting to an estimated EUR 446 billion, 81% of the total losses caused by natural hazards. Finding effective strategies to manage the risks associated with extreme climate events is imperative.

The HuT project will address the possible impacts of extreme climate events by adopting a trans-disciplinary “all-hazards” approach, connecting the sectoral silos associated with individual events and enabling joint and coordinated planning and adoption of multi-hazard disaster risk reduction (DRR) solutions. The project will integrate and leverage best practices and successful multi-disciplinary experiences that have been recently developed, within various territorial contexts.
