The HuT: Building a safe haven to cope with climate extremes

Challenges being addressed

Finding effective strategies to manage the risks associated with extreme climate events is not easy. Within The HuT project, European research groups, institutions, and stakeholders will collaborate to integrate and leverage best practices and successful multi-disciplinary experiences.

UCL Risk & Disaster Reduction’s contribution

Co-leading Work Package 2 ‘Human behaviours’ to examine how human-centric disaster risk reduction activities for climate can be better implemented to build long term adaptation and resilience building capacities.

Research impact

To develop and promote a set of trans-disciplinary warning and risk management tools and approaches that could be adopted and used in as many situations as possible. Specific attention will be devoted to assessing the transferability of the developed innovations across territorial contexts and hazards.
