Abstract:
The project, whose full name is CO-CREATIVE IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING AND AWARENESS OF MULTIHAZARD
RISKS FOR A DISASTER RESILIENT SOCIETY and whose acronym is C2IMPRESS, is supported under
the Horizon Europe program under the call HORIZON-CL3-2021-DRS-01. In response to the pressing global
and European need, the C2IMPRESS project addresses the evident gaps in data, understanding, and
awareness concerning compound weather and climate extremes. With the backdrop of insufficient
governance mechanisms heightening community vulnerability, this initiative champions a transformative
shift from the prevailing 'hazard-centric' methodologies to a pioneering 'people and place'-centric approach
to multi-hazard risk and resilience assessment.
