UCCRN’s 10th anniversary
On the occasion of UCCRN's 10th anniversary, we are happy to announce an MoU signed with ICLEI -- a worldwide network of 1,500+ cities, towns and regions -- for a truly global scientific-practitioner collaboration. With our wonderful UCCRN scientists Chantal Pacteau (Paris), Reimund Schwarze (Leipzig/Berlin), Stelios Grafakos (Rotterdam/Athens), Peter Meyer (New Hope), Mattia Leone (Naples), Sean O'Donoghue (Durban), Erika Tenorio (Tegucigalpa), Shannon Capps (Philadelphia), and Associate Director, Somayya Ali Ibrahim (New York/Peshawar).
ESPREssO – Enhancing Synergies on Disaster Prevention in the European Union
ESPREssO aims at contributing to a new strategic vision to approach natural risk reduction and climate change adaptation, thereby opening new frontiers for research and policy making. To achieve this goal, the project structure is built upon the central role of three main challenges to be addressed in order to propose ways to mitigate differences, to identify gaps, and to overcome the boundaries among different topics: To propose ways 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 address the issue of efficient management of trans-boundary crises. 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.

UCCRN Second Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities launched at UN-HABITAT III in Quito
The Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) has launched the Second Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3-2) at United Nation Conference Habitat III in Quito on October 20th 2016, within the session "Science for Cities-Urban Stage". The book, published by Cambridge University Press and authored by over 350 individuals, it's the second in an ongoing series of global, interdisciplinary, cross-regional, science-based assessments to address climate risks, adaptation, mitigation, and policy mechanisms relevant to cities. ARC3-2 includes contributions from PLINIVS team members Giulio Zuccaro and Mattia Leone. Learn more
