Get your weekly dose of the latest news and research on disaster risk reduction, selected by the PreventionWeb editors.
We bring you some reports of risks to watch out for – how prison populations often lack protection from hazards; what a 1.5°C overshoot could mean in real terms; how extreme weather is impacting food prices; and the plight of those who contribute the least to the climate crisis, yet shoulder the heaviest burden.
We also present some news about how hazards are being tackled – predicting landslide risks with hi-tech hi-res models; progress updates on early warning system implementation and on climate services provision; and how monitoring glaciers can help predict volcanic activity.
Get the latest news, publications, articles, and blogs from the DRR community – on PreventionWeb.
