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

HuT将采用创新的减少灾害风险解决方案，考虑气候变化引起的潜在变化。这将涉及整合和利用欧洲主要研究小组、机构和利益相关者最近在不同地域背景下开发的最佳实践和成功的多学科经验，以应对极端气候事件。该项目的主要目标是推广跨学科风险管理工具和方法的“最佳组合”，这些工具和方法可以在尽可能多的情况下在整个欧洲广泛采用和使用。项目活动的发展将考虑以下主要关键方面：跨学科、系统风险、合作生产、交叉施肥、可转移性和长期遗产。一组10个示范将构成一个多灾害的舞台，在这里，科学和技术界、从业者、决策者和当地社区的代表将共同应对与极端气候有关的可能的灾难性事件。该项目将考虑与极端气候相关的事件：森林火灾，包括荒地城市界面火灾；气象/水文/农业干旱，包括相关的缺水；热浪;天气引起的山体滑坡，包括泥石流；河流和洪积洪水；风暴，包括大雨、冰雹、雷暴和风暴潮。HuT将主要关注灾害风险管理周期的预防和准备阶段，明确考虑气候变化情景，并针对所考虑的各种事件，在短期（从几天到几个月）和长期（从几年到几十年）的时间范围内整合提出的一套解决方案。

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.
