RISCDIS PROJECT

The IRN project Recovery trajectories of Societies to natural DISasters (RISCDIS) is part of the ongoing Anthropocene challenge. Faced with the resurgence, in terms of impacts and frequency, of extreme events and disasters in recent decades, the international RISCDIS project led by the CNRS aims to promote tools for adaptation and resilience strategies in order to reduce the vulnerability of societies.
