In Europe, over the last 40 years, extreme climate events have caused economic losses amounting to an estimated €446 bn, 81% of the total losses caused by natural hazards. Finding effective strategies to manage the risks associated with extreme climate events is imperative.

Within The HuT project, European research groups, institutions, and stakeholders will work in order to integrate and leverage best practices and successful multi-disciplinary experiences.

Emphasis will be placed on assessing the transferability of the developed innovations to different territorial contexts and hazards. The activities will be designed to maximise the chances of these innovations having a long-lasting impact, inside and outside the demonstrators’ arena.

The project’s main ambition is to promote a set of trans-disciplinary risk management tools and approaches that could be adopted and used in as many situations as possible. Specific attention will be devoted to assessing the transferability of the developed innovations across territorial contexts and hazards.
