INQUIMUS 2024 Workshop on “Climate and Disaster Risk storylines”

December 4, 2024 - December 6, 2024

Eurac Research have hosted the INQUIMUS 2024 on Climate and Disaster Risk storylines – an approach to embrace complexity of risks and heterogeneity of evidence in risk science, risk management and risk communication. The event took place between December 4th and December 6th at Eurac Research, in Bolzano, Italy.

Workshop Theme: In an era marked by increasing climate extremes and intensifying disaster events with cascading impacts and risks throughout environmental and human systems, the need for risk management approaches that embrace the complexity of risk pathways is more pressing than ever. Climate and disaster risk storylines offer a powerful narrative framework that can foster a comprehensive and holistic understanding of complex risks and improve decision-making processes across diverse sectors and scales.

The objectives of the workshop were:

  • Exchange experience on developing and applying climate and disaster risk storylines.
  • Illustrate, how quantitative and qualitative elements and evidence can be integrated through risk storylines.
  • Discuss, how risk storylines can be extended towards the dynamics of non-climatic risk drivers (exposure, vulnerabiltiy, underlying drivers) and social aspects.
  • Understand to which extend and under which conditions storylines can support risk managers in challenging their current risk management practice and adapting them to future conditions.
  • Conclude on elements and aspects that constitute a good standard in developing risk storylines.

Martha Marie Vogel, Technical Adviser at Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and member of COMPASS team, presented the COMPASS project with a poster entitled “Climate Risk Storylines for Navigating Uncertainties of Climate Change in Humanitarian Action”. The poster is available here.
