Background
The RDH provides local and national authorities with scientific support to come up with evidence-based policies fostering disaster prevention and preparedness.
Therefore, its ultimate goal is to offer policymakers data to help improve risk assessments in the stages before, during and after a climate change inducted, meteorological or hydrological disaster hits Europe.
As the main deliverable of the Science Pillar of the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network for 2022, the RDH plays a pivotal role in supporting Member States deliver on their commitments related to the Sendai framework, in coming up with climate change adaptation strategies, and in outlining national risk assessment reports.
