Global multi-hazard average annual loss

Most frequent extensive

events are due to

climatological and hydro-

meteorological trigger

Most intensive events are

responsible for the biggest

loss and damages

Over the past two decades disaster losses have toppes

15 trillion USD and are now reaching $ 250 billion to 300 $

billion annually

EEA reported economic losses by weather and climate-

related extremes in Europe over the period 1980-2015

amounted to around EUR 433 billion (in 2015 Euro values)

Damages produced by disasters to financial

activities and well-being of society are

estimated to be on average 60 higher than

direct cost of losses and damages (source WB report-

unbreakable building the resilience of the poor in the face of natural disasters)

In OECD countries disaster economic losses

tend to grow faster than their average Gross

Domestic Product-GDP growth (source GAR 2011)

Examples from the present

The Venice Port Authority has indicated that the income and employment generated by cruise

tourism is indispensable to the city ndash cruise ship passengers alone are said to spend up to

EUR 150 million in Venice each year (Comitato Cruise Venice)

ldquoClimate change is one of the most significant risks

for World Heritage to emerge since the adoption of

the World Heritage Convention in 1972rdquo

Venice is now under assault from rapidly growing tourist numbers as well as worsening climate

driven water damage to the buildings and architectural and monumental heritage that draw

visitors in the first place Ironically tourism is responsible for thousands of Venetian jobs and

tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the city and its businesses but the effects of climate

must be addressed if the historic centre is to survive at all and tourism must be better controlled if

Venice is to remain a thriving and diverse community

UNESCO report

World Heritage

and Tourism in a

Changing Climate

The value of preserving historic buildings is increasingly accepted by

society which not only recognizes built cultural heritage as a part of its

identity but is also more cognizant of its economic value

In Europe tourism accounts for 10 percent of the GDP in the

EU and 12 percent of employment (Paulo b Lourenccedilo 2006)

Studies indicate that

bull investment in measures to reduce the vulnerability of buildings yields an average value of four

times the amount invested

bull Retrofitting of buildings to increase earthquake resilience offers a cost-benefit of up to eight times

the value of the investment

In the case of built cultural heritage the structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by

post-disaster measures

Earthquakes occur randomly and they can be larger than those anticipated in safety regulations it is

therefore necessary to take steps in advance that can reduce the risk of damage and promote

subsequent recovery

Priority 1 understanding risk(d) To systematically evaluate record share and publicly account for disaster losses and

understand the economic social health education environmental and cultural heritage

impacts as appropriate in the context of event-specific hazard-exposure and vulnerability

information

Priority 3 Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience

(d) To protect or support the protection of cultural and collecting institutions and other sites of

historical cultural heritage and religious interest

Recognizes that impact on Economic activities and Cultural Heritage

includes

bull Loss of economic activities and cultural heritage

bull Loss of income and jobs

bull Loss of identity

Calls for protection of human lives economic activities ecosystem

and cultural heritage

Calls for inclusive approach and put high responsibility on science

and technology

Science and Technology Conference

On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR

bull The support from the science and technology community should include

bull the assessment and analysis of hazards consequences of cascading risks

development and validation of applied tools and standards

bull the design and use of new technologies

bull a range of education and communication roles

bull The main mechanism to accelerate use of science and technology for DRR is a lsquopartnership

approachrsquo to help bring scientists from different disciplines and regions together and to

connect them to practitioners and decision makers There is a need to create andor

strengthen national disaster risk reduction science-policy councilsplatforms

bull The Conference underlined the need for better accessibility to lsquohigh qualityrsquo data on multi-

hazard risk exposure and vulnerability capacities and disaster loss and impact

bull Support to open access and open-source data platforms standard approaches in data

collection and mapping and a common operating system was underlined The role of the

private sector in these efforts can be further enhanced

bull The participants identified the more systematic collection and management of data as a

priority including the need to integrate data collected by other mechanisms (such as

crowd-sourcing remote earth observations and geo-spatial data) into formal national systems

Science and Technology Conference

On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR

Priorities for DRR research were identified

bull Understanding risk this includes systematic risk assessments and profiling and studies on

underlying drivers of risk

bull Documenting and analysing the effects and impact evaluation of disasters and of disaster risk

reduction measures

bull The Conference called on knowledge centers and hubs of excellence to foster DRR in

science and connect with decision makers

bull Technological innovations need to be made accessible and applied to measure and reduce

bull disaster risk

bull Earth observation satellite data for DRR as well as in-situ observations and crowd-sourced

data are opportunities to use technology to support regular monitoring of disaster risk

exposure and vulnerability Such systems also provide technological support to people-

centred low cost multi-hazards early warning systems

bull Participants identified accessible technological innovation for communication education

and capacity building as a priority This includes training of decision-makers on how to use

available technologies (eg satellite imagery)

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Top priority understanding risk due to natural and technical hazards gathering evidence

of changes through continuous monitoring

atmosphere monitoring service supports many applications in a variety of domains

including change detection environmental monitoring and climatology to be used

for risk assessment

land monitoring service provides geographical information on land cover and on

variables related to the vegetation state or the water cycle It supports applications in a

variety of domains such as spatial planning forest management water management

agriculture and food security

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic

reference information on the physical state variability and dynamics of the ocean

and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas including

water quality monitoring and pollution control sea level rise and coastal erosion sea

surface temperature measuring climate change and having direct consequences on

marine ecosystems Many data are crucial for climate and seasonal forecasting

Climate Change service supports analysis on environmental and societal challenges

associated with human-induced climate changes Provides information for monitoring

and predicting climate change to support adaptation and mitigation strategies

The service will provide access to several climate indicators (eg temperature increase

sea level rise ice sheet melting warming up of the ocean) and climate indices (eg

based on records of temperature precipitation drought event) for both the

identified climate drivers and the expected climate impacts

bull Protection of CH (including environment) and economic assets is key to societal well being

and economic growth

bull CH structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by post-disaster measures

bull Disasters are most often caused by unappropriated land use management and unappropriated

building codes rather than to natural events

bull Investing in DRR (both structural and non structural measures) is paying back by large

Appropriate environmental monitoring land use planning adoption of appropriate building

(and retrofitting) codes raising of risk awareness active participation of public and private

stakeholders at national and local level are preliminary conditions to achieve DRR

bull Needs are already there and solutions are self paid by investments on resilience

Science and Technology must play a relevant role in gathering evidence identifying

solutions and implementing the way forward to DRR and sustainable future

bull Understanding risk this includes systematic risk assessments and profiling and studies on

underlying drivers of risk

bull Documenting and analysing the effects and impact evaluation of disasters and of disaster risk

reduction measures

bull The Conference called on knowledge centers and hubs of excellence to foster DRR in

science and connect with decision makers

bull Technological innovations need to be made accessible and applied to measure and reduce

bull disaster risk

bull Earth observation satellite data for DRR as well as in-situ observations and crowd-sourced

data are opportunities to use technology to support regular monitoring of disaster risk

exposure and vulnerability Such systems also provide technological support to people-

centred low cost multi-hazards early warning systems

bull Participants identified accessible technological innovation for communication education

and capacity building as a priority This includes training of decision-makers on how to use

available technologies (eg satellite imagery)

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Top priority understanding risk due to natural and technical hazards gathering evidence

of changes through continuous monitoring

atmosphere monitoring service supports many applications in a variety of domains

including change detection environmental monitoring and climatology to be used

for risk assessment

land monitoring service provides geographical information on land cover and on

variables related to the vegetation state or the water cycle It supports applications in a

variety of domains such as spatial planning forest management water management

agriculture and food security

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic

reference information on the physical state variability and dynamics of the ocean

and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas including

water quality monitoring and pollution control sea level rise and coastal erosion sea

surface temperature measuring climate change and having direct consequences on

marine ecosystems Many data are crucial for climate and seasonal forecasting

Climate Change service supports analysis on environmental and societal challenges

associated with human-induced climate changes Provides information for monitoring

and predicting climate change to support adaptation and mitigation strategies

The service will provide access to several climate indicators (eg temperature increase

sea level rise ice sheet melting warming up of the ocean) and climate indices (eg

based on records of temperature precipitation drought event) for both the

identified climate drivers and the expected climate impacts

bull Protection of CH (including environment) and economic assets is key to societal well being

and economic growth

bull CH structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by post-disaster measures

bull Disasters are most often caused by unappropriated land use management and unappropriated

building codes rather than to natural events

bull Investing in DRR (both structural and non structural measures) is paying back by large

Appropriate environmental monitoring land use planning adoption of appropriate building

(and retrofitting) codes raising of risk awareness active participation of public and private

stakeholders at national and local level are preliminary conditions to achieve DRR

bull Needs are already there and solutions are self paid by investments on resilience

Science and Technology must play a relevant role in gathering evidence identifying

solutions and implementing the way forward to DRR and sustainable future

Examples from the present

The Venice Port Authority has indicated that the income and employment generated by cruise

tourism is indispensable to the city ndash cruise ship passengers alone are said to spend up to

EUR 150 million in Venice each year (Comitato Cruise Venice)

ldquoClimate change is one of the most significant risks

for World Heritage to emerge since the adoption of

the World Heritage Convention in 1972rdquo

Venice is now under assault from rapidly growing tourist numbers as well as worsening climate

driven water damage to the buildings and architectural and monumental heritage that draw

visitors in the first place Ironically tourism is responsible for thousands of Venetian jobs and

tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the city and its businesses but the effects of climate

must be addressed if the historic centre is to survive at all and tourism must be better controlled if

Venice is to remain a thriving and diverse community

UNESCO report

World Heritage

and Tourism in a

Changing Climate

The value of preserving historic buildings is increasingly accepted by

society which not only recognizes built cultural heritage as a part of its

identity but is also more cognizant of its economic value

In Europe tourism accounts for 10 percent of the GDP in the

EU and 12 percent of employment (Paulo b Lourenccedilo 2006)

Studies indicate that

bull investment in measures to reduce the vulnerability of buildings yields an average value of four

times the amount invested

bull Retrofitting of buildings to increase earthquake resilience offers a cost-benefit of up to eight times

the value of the investment

In the case of built cultural heritage the structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by

post-disaster measures

Earthquakes occur randomly and they can be larger than those anticipated in safety regulations it is

therefore necessary to take steps in advance that can reduce the risk of damage and promote

subsequent recovery

Priority 1 understanding risk(d) To systematically evaluate record share and publicly account for disaster losses and

understand the economic social health education environmental and cultural heritage

impacts as appropriate in the context of event-specific hazard-exposure and vulnerability

information

Priority 3 Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience

(d) To protect or support the protection of cultural and collecting institutions and other sites of

historical cultural heritage and religious interest

Recognizes that impact on Economic activities and Cultural Heritage

includes

bull Loss of economic activities and cultural heritage

bull Loss of income and jobs

bull Loss of identity

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Top priority understanding risk due to natural and technical hazards gathering evidence

of changes through continuous monitoring

atmosphere monitoring service supports many applications in a variety of domains

including change detection environmental monitoring and climatology to be used

for risk assessment

land monitoring service provides geographical information on land cover and on

variables related to the vegetation state or the water cycle It supports applications in a

variety of domains such as spatial planning forest management water management

agriculture and food security

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities

Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic

reference information on the physical state variability and dynamics of the ocean

and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas including

water quality monitoring and pollution control sea level rise and coastal erosion sea

surface temperature measuring climate change and having direct consequences on

marine ecosystems Many data are crucial for climate and seasonal forecasting

Climate Change service supports analysis on environmental and societal challenges

associated with human-induced climate changes Provides information for monitoring

and predicting climate change to support adaptation and mitigation strategies

The service will provide access to several climate indicators (eg temperature increase

sea level rise ice sheet melting warming up of the ocean) and climate indices (eg

based on records of temperature precipitation drought event) for both the

identified climate drivers and the expected climate impacts

Science and Technology Conference

On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR

bull The support from the science and technology community should include

bull the assessment and analysis of hazards consequences of cascading risks

development and validation of applied tools and standards

bull the design and use of new technologies

bull a range of education and communication roles

bull The main mechanism to accelerate use of science and technology for DRR is a lsquopartnership

approachrsquo to help bring scientists from different disciplines and regions together and to

connect them to practitioners and decision makers There is a need to create andor

strengthen national disaster risk reduction science-policy councilsplatforms

bull The Conference underlined the need for better accessibility to lsquohigh qualityrsquo data on multi-

hazard risk exposure and vulnerability capacities and disaster loss and impact

bull Support to open access and open-source data platforms standard approaches in data

collection and mapping and a common operating system was underlined The role of the

private sector in these efforts can be further enhanced

bull The participants identified the more systematic collection and management of data as a

priority including the need to integrate data collected by other mechanisms (such as

crowd-sourcing remote earth observations and geo-spatial data) into formal national systems
