Uccrn Education Enhancing Synergies for Disaster Prevention in the European Union
Chantal Pacteau, Co-Director of the UCCRN European Hub, is part of the Stakeholder Forum of the Horizon 2020 Project – Enhancing Synergies for Disaster Prevention in the European Union, Coordinated by Giulio Zuccaro from the University of Naples Federico II – PLINIVS Study Centre. The ESPREssO team, with the support of the stakeholder network has developed a Vision Paper on Future Research Strategies following the Sendai Framework for DRR 2015-2020 and a set of Guidelines on Risk Management Capabilities.
Introduction to the guidelines
These guidelines, together with the ESPREssO Vision Paper (deliverable D5.5 “ESPREssO Vision Paper”) are the final outputs of the project ESPREssO “Enhancing synergies for disaster prevention in the European Union”, a Coordination and Support Action funded by DG RESEARCH under the H2020 Programme. ESPREssO’s aim is to contribute to a new strategic vision on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Europe and to promote new ideas upon which a future roadmap and agenda may be based for natural hazard research and policymaking over the next ten years in light of changing climatic patterns and new risk landscapes.
