4 May 8:00 - 9:30 UTC
New Technology vs Disaster Risk Reduction: Opportunities and Emerging Risks

A Framework for Global Science in support of Risk Informed Sustainable Development and Planetary Health (ISC-UNDRR-IRDR, 2021, hereafter as the Research Framework) identified nine research priorities for cooperation. To advance the implementation of the Research Framework, IRDR will organize a series of workshops in 2023 to further discuss the implications of priority setting and the lines of actions for DRR community. This workshop will focus on Priority 5 “Harness technologies, data and knowledge for risk reduction”. As stated in the Research Framework, rapid technological advances in the areas of artificial intelligence, digitalization and analytical capacity and the very widespread adoption of mobile devices and social media are driving major changes in our lives and have the potential to contribute to risk reduction and the development of Open Science. 

This workshop is an initial expert meeting that starts the discussion on the Priority 5, as well as a pre-session of IRDR 2023 Conference.

The workshop is scheduled on 4 May, UTC 8:00-9:30.
