Summary:

The ebook is based on contributing papers to the UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR19). The Global Assessment Report was launched in May 2019 in a special session at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, which attracted around 4000 people from almost all countries in the world, and is widely known and accessed. Aligned with the with GAR19 key themes and messages, the ebook elaborates on selected primary findings of GAR19, with a special focus on the interplay between data and policy in addressing the systemic nature of risks. The selected papers highlight opportunities for data interoperability and analyzing disaster risks more holistically, thus speaking to the systemic nature of risks. Although systemic risk as such is not new as a topic especially in the roam of financial markets, it is new for the DRR community, which is starting to look beyond natural hazards and to address risk more holistically. Systemic risk undermines development and combined with the impact of a changing climate needs to be addressed systemically or resilience will remain unattainable. This is one of the main messages coming out of the Global Assessment Report 2019. The topic of this ebook lies at the heart of a paradigm shift among the risk modeling community as well as policy makers and data providers who are coming together to ask themselves how to manage increasingly complex risk.
