The main theme of this year’s conference is ‘Addressing Cascading and Compound Risks of Climate Change, Humanitarian Crises and Disasters’. Along with the fast changes in climatic variables, the number of natural hazards and extreme events, conflicts, disputes, crises, security threats, terrorist attacks, industrial and technological hazards, environmental degradation, and diversified forms of emergency conditions is increasing rapidly. We now need to be better prepared for the consequences of diverse hazards and the occurrence of multiple disasters at the same time. Addressing the series of consequences of a single event as cascading disaster risks and the occurrence of multiple hazards at the same time as compound disaster risks has become a major global concern. This conference aims to provide a platform for experts, researchers, academics, practitioners and policy and decision makers from multi-disciplinary backgrounds to share their works, research, and experiences and to disseminate knowledge for reducing compound and cascading disaster risks in the global context.
