About the Institute
Registered in Europe, the World Risk Institute is a global research institute and think tank advancing research and solutions on vulnerabilities, hazards, and disasters. We address risks from natural and human-induced hazards, epidemics, and climate challenges through geospatial technologies, innovative tools, and citizen science. A key focus is strengthening multi-hazard impact-based early warning systems and anticipatory action to protect vulnerable communities and promote environmental justice.
Areas of Expertise
Vulnerability, Exposure, Impact, and Risk Assessment
Applies both traditional and innovative scientific methods to assess hhow populations, systems, and assets are exposed to hazards and affected by them. Combines established risk analysis frameworks with advanced tools such as geospatial modeling and impact forecasting to identify vulnerabilities, quantify impacts, and isupport risk-informed decisionmaking.
Multi-hazard Impact-based Forecasting, Early Warning System, and Anticipatory Action Planning
Develops and delivers actionable early warning and advisory products that translate hazard forecasts into potential impacts, enabling timely anticipatory action and preparedness interventions.
Earth Observation Technology and Geospatial Analysis
Applies remote sensing, satellite imagery, and geospatial analytics to monitor hazards, assess risk dynamics, and inform disaster and climate resilience planning.
Research on Complex Humanitarian Crises: Disaster - Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) Nexus
Explores the intersections between disasters and fragile or conflict-affected settings to improve risk governance and resilience strategies in highly vulnerable contexts.
Environment, Climate Change and Humanitarian Policy Research and Advocacy
Promotes inclusive approaches that strengthen the resilience of marginalized communities while addressing systemic inequalities in environmental risk and resource access.
