Exposure of settlements to wildfires in a transboundary wildland–urban interface region in Central Europe

Climate change will reshape future wildfire danger and hazard in Sardinia, Italy

Recent years have highlighted an increasing vulnerability to wildfires in Europe driven by climate, land use change, and socio-economic factors. Under future projected warming and drying patterns, Mediterranean areas emerge as one of the most wildfire-sensitive regions. This study combines high-resolution climate proje...

Building bridges across borders to co-develop flood early warning in the Sahel

Flood risk in the Sahel has increased markedly over recent decades, driven by the intensification of hydro-climatic hazards and the rapid growth of exposure in urban and peri-urban areas. In this context, FEWSs (FEWSs) are increasingly recognized as a key component of climate services for disaster risk reduction, as em...

Mapping Post-fire Monthly Erosion Rates at the Catchment Scale Using Empirical Models Implemented in GIS. A Case Study in Northern Italy

Floods and Heritage: Comparison of Cases and Observations

Floods are some of the main threats for the existing built heritage and Cultural Heritage, occurring with an increasing frequency, due also to the climate change, and involving countries and territories all over the world characterized by different features (climate, morphology, level of urbanization), as this paper sh...

The Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Erosion: A Case of Bonny and Okrika Communities in Rivers State, Nigeria.

Coastal erosion is a major environmental and disaster-risk concern in the Niger Delta, where low elevation, tidal channels, mangrove ecosystems, rapid development and hydrocarbon-related activities interact with climatic and geomorphic processes. This paper examines the impact of climate change on coastal erosion in Bo...

Integrated solutions to build resilience to flooding within eThekwini Municipality in South Africa

Flooding has become one of the most urgent climate-related threats to cities, especially in African coastal cities like eThekwini Municipality, South Africa. In this study, the intention is to investigate how climate change, urbanization, and governance issues affected flood-related risk and resilience. A spatial analy...
