We face a reality where hazardous events are interrelated, and disaster impacts cascade in unpredictable ways. Multi-hazards can be a coincidence, they can be directly triggered by another or influence each other, creating multi-vulnerabilities that we need to prepare for. The Understanding Risk Global Forum 2022 #UR22 explores the space where these waves collide to better understand multi-hazards and develop multi-faceted resilience approaches.

UR22 will be be held in person as well as online at various time zones. The five-day event will be hosted at the main venue and at satellite hubs across the world. You are invited to be part of a fun and creative environment to share knowledge and inspire action.

The Understanding Risk (UR) Global Forum is a biennial conference that convenes experts and practitioners from all around the world to showcase the best practices and latest innovations in the field of disaster risk identification and management, as well as to facilitate non-traditional interactions and partnerships.
