ESPREssO – Enhancing synergies for disaster prevention in the European Union

ESPREssO is an EU/SNF funded research project aiming to contribute to a new strategic vision for natural risk reduction and climate change adaptation, thereby opening new frontiers for research and policy making. To achieve this goal, the project focuses on three main challenges:

to create more coherent national and European approaches on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and resilience strengthening;
to enhance risk management capabilities by bridging the gap between science and legal/policy issues at local and national levels in six European countries;
to improve the management of trans-boundary disasters.

The main final products of ESPREssO will be the Guidelines on risk management capability and a Vision Paper on future research strategies in order to better define the research priorities following the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030.
