IDRC Davos 2012 Risk Survey Evaluation

This document summarizes the results of a risk survey conducted by the Global Risk Forum for the International Disaster and Risk Conference in Davos 2012. The survey asked participants to identify the most threatening risks to humanity, the top five risks for the current decade, which cross-cutting themes and discussion topics should be priorities at the conference, and which risk assessment tools and methodologies would be most useful. The survey results showed that climate change, natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, water scarcity, and environmental degradation were seen as the major threats.

The document discusses the importance of sustainable product design. It argues that product design is the starting point for transforming a business to be more sustainable. The design process determines how materials are sourced, where a product is manufactured, and how it is distributed and disposed of at the end of its life. More than anywhere else, the initial design stage establishes a product's ultimate environmental footprint. The document advocates for cradle-to-cradle design principles that reduce the need to continually extract new resources and expend energy to create products.

The document discusses the role of social capital in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters, using the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China as a case study. Social networks and social participation were found to be critical for search and rescue efforts, information sharing, social support, and mental health in the aftermath. A survey showed that over 90% of survivors were rescued by friends and neighbors, not external rescuers. Social networks also facilitated information flow and provided important informal support. Higher levels of social capital were associated with better psychological outcomes. In the years following, social participation and collective action increased greatly, indicating a transformation towards stronger social integration and trust within the affected communities.

1) The document summarizes research from 2006-present on blogging behaviors of general bloggers, active scholar bloggers, and inactive scholar bloggers. It presents findings from surveys, interviews, and analyses of bloggers' posts and profiles. 2) For active scholar bloggers, most saw their blogs as part of their scholarly record and were interested in preserving them. However, many inactive scholar blogs were left without a clear message about their status. 3) Current research is examining blogging behaviors and perceptions of librarians and information professionals. Results are expected in summer 2013.

An Experience Designing a National Research Agenda on Disasters Risk Reduction

In 2000, Venezuela created a national research program on disaster risk reduction following a devastating disaster in 1999 and a new policy prioritizing science and technology. Over eight months, the program brought together 150 experts from 90 institutions across various fields to identify priority research areas. This resulted in a research agenda with 10 thematic lines, including education, vulnerability assessment, and risk management. The program funded 55 research projects over 7 years with an estimated $4.5 million investment.

This report examines climate and disaster resilience financing for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It finds that while funding is increasingly available, SIDS face challenges in accessing and managing the multiple sources of finance due to limited human resources. The report provides an overview of recent financing trends, highlights the complexity of the global architecture from bilateral and multilateral sources, and calls for a more coordinated and tailored approach to better support SIDS in building resilience.

CISL: Executive Summary Risk Sharing for Loss and Damage

Energy for One World

This document proposes a new approach to designing the global financial architecture for Loss and Damage. It demonstrates how modest annual financial flows from donors could be used to purchase significant contractual protection from risk capital markets for vulnerable developing countries facing climate impacts. Specifically: 1) It quantifies current and future climate risks to national economies in developing countries through 2050 using risk analysis methods from capital markets. 2) It estimates the costs to establish "umbrella stop-loss" mechanisms that would protect countries from losses over a certain percentage of GDP from climate shocks. 3) It provides an example where $10 million annually per country from donors could generate $200-300 million in annual protection for each country, totaling $

This document summarizes a presentation on the Horizon2020 Insurance project. It discusses using climate science to help the insurance sector. The project is demonstrating adding value from climate services in the Danube basin by modeling floods. It presents results on changing flood frequency from climate change. It also discusses modeling pluvial flooding in cities and supporting infrastructure investments. Other areas discussed include modeling tropical cyclones, forest fires, health impacts, and crop insurance solutions to enhance food security in Africa. The goal is to show how climate data and models can provide robust risk information to help insurers and policymakers.

Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR 2023)

Christina Parmionova

Disasters are reversing global development. Urgent action is needed to build resilience into every decision we make. Growing inequities and pressures on the planet are reversing hard-won development gains. Humanitarian needs are also rising, as disasters and conflict create enormous human suffering. The United Nations Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR 2023) highlights how resilience can be strengthened to withstand and respond to shocks. This includes investments in early warning systems where the benefits triple in vulnerable contexts because of their proven ability to reduce damage.

Des Moines Climate Risk and the Insurance Industry

The document summarizes recent developments related to climate change and their implications for the insurance industry. It discusses the three major UN framework agreements on climate change, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development that have impacted government responses to climate risks. International policy developments include the 2015 Paris Agreement which aims to limit global warming through voluntary national emission reduction plans. Governments are increasingly taking a comprehensive, risk-based approach to building climate resilience but progress remains slow. The insurance industry is actively supporting efforts to build resilience through risk assessment, financing, and prevention.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

1) The document analyzes data from surveys of Syrian refugees in Turkey to understand their choices regarding returning to Syria, staying in Turkey, or migrating elsewhere. 2) It finds that as the duration of living as a refugee increases, the probability of returning to Syria decreases significantly, while the likelihood of migrating to another country increases. 3) Refugees who experienced greater damage, losses, or deaths due to the war in Syria are less likely to return and more likely to migrate internationally in search of asylum.
