Global multi-hazard average annual loss
Most frequent extensive
events are due to
climatological and hydro-
meteorological trigger
Most intensive events are
responsible for the biggest
loss and damages
Over the past two decades disaster losses have toppes
15 trillion USD and are now reaching $ 250 billion to 300 $
billion annually
EEA reported economic losses by weather and climate-
related extremes in Europe over the period 1980-2015
amounted to around EUR 433 billion (in 2015 Euro values)
Damages produced by disasters to financial
activities and well-being of society are
estimated to be on average 60 higher than
direct cost of losses and damages (source WB report-
unbreakable building the resilience of the poor in the face of natural disasters)
In OECD countries disaster economic losses
tend to grow faster than their average Gross
Domestic Product-GDP growth (source GAR 2011)

Examples from the present
The Venice Port Authority has indicated that the income and employment generated by cruise
tourism is indispensable to the city ndash cruise ship passengers alone are said to spend up to
EUR 150 million in Venice each year (Comitato Cruise Venice)
ldquoClimate change is one of the most significant risks
for World Heritage to emerge since the adoption of
the World Heritage Convention in 1972rdquo
Venice is now under assault from rapidly growing tourist numbers as well as worsening climate
driven water damage to the buildings and architectural and monumental heritage that draw
visitors in the first place Ironically tourism is responsible for thousands of Venetian jobs and
tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the city and its businesses but the effects of climate
must be addressed if the historic centre is to survive at all and tourism must be better controlled if
Venice is to remain a thriving and diverse community
UNESCO report
World Heritage
and Tourism in a
Changing Climate
The value of preserving historic buildings is increasingly accepted by
society which not only recognizes built cultural heritage as a part of its
identity but is also more cognizant of its economic value
In Europe tourism accounts for 10 percent of the GDP in the
EU and 12 percent of employment (Paulo b Lourenccedilo 2006)
Studies indicate that
bull investment in measures to reduce the vulnerability of buildings yields an average value of four
times the amount invested
bull Retrofitting of buildings to increase earthquake resilience offers a cost-benefit of up to eight times
the value of the investment
In the case of built cultural heritage the structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by
post-disaster measures
Earthquakes occur randomly and they can be larger than those anticipated in safety regulations it is
therefore necessary to take steps in advance that can reduce the risk of damage and promote
subsequent recovery
Priority 1 understanding risk(d) To systematically evaluate record share and publicly account for disaster losses and
understand the economic social health education environmental and cultural heritage
impacts as appropriate in the context of event-specific hazard-exposure and vulnerability
information
Priority 3 Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience
(d) To protect or support the protection of cultural and collecting institutions and other sites of
historical cultural heritage and religious interest
Recognizes that impact on Economic activities and Cultural Heritage
includes
bull Loss of economic activities and cultural heritage
bull Loss of income and jobs
bull Loss of identity
Calls for protection of human lives economic activities ecosystem
and cultural heritage
Calls for inclusive approach and put high responsibility on science

Science and Technology Conference
On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR
bull The support from the science and technology community should include
bull the assessment and analysis of hazards consequences of cascading risks
development and validation of applied tools and standards
bull the design and use of new technologies
bull a range of education and communication roles
bull The main mechanism to accelerate use of science and technology for DRR is a lsquopartnership
approachrsquo to help bring scientists from different disciplines and regions together and to
connect them to practitioners and decision makers There is a need to create andor
strengthen national disaster risk reduction science-policy councilsplatforms
bull The Conference underlined the need for better accessibility to lsquohigh qualityrsquo data on multi-
hazard risk exposure and vulnerability capacities and disaster loss and impact
bull Support to open access and open-source data platforms standard approaches in data
collection and mapping and a common operating system was underlined The role of the
private sector in these efforts can be further enhanced
bull The participants identified the more systematic collection and management of data as a
priority including the need to integrate data collected by other mechanisms (such as
crowd-sourcing remote earth observations and geo-spatial data) into formal national systems

Science and Technology Conference
On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR
Priorities for DRR research were identified
bull Understanding risk this includes systematic risk assessments and profiling and studies on
underlying drivers of risk
bull Documenting and analysing the effects and impact evaluation of disasters and of disaster risk
reduction measures
bull The Conference called on knowledge centers and hubs of excellence to foster DRR in
science and connect with decision makers
bull Technological innovations need to be made accessible and applied to measure and reduce
bull disaster risk
bull Earth observation satellite data for DRR as well as in-situ observations and crowd-sourced
data are opportunities to use technology to support regular monitoring of disaster risk
exposure and vulnerability Such systems also provide technological support to people-
centred low cost multi-hazards early warning systems
bull Participants identified accessible technological innovation for communication education
and capacity building as a priority This includes training of decision-makers on how to use
available technologies (eg satellite imagery)

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities
Top priority understanding risk due to natural and technical hazards gathering evidence
of changes through continuous monitoring
atmosphere monitoring service supports many applications in a variety of domains
including change detection environmental monitoring and climatology to be used
for risk assessment
land monitoring service provides geographical information on land cover and on
variables related to the vegetation state or the water cycle It supports applications in a
variety of domains such as spatial planning forest management water management
agriculture and food security
Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities
Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic
reference information on the physical state variability and dynamics of the ocean
and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas including
water quality monitoring and pollution control sea level rise and coastal erosion sea
surface temperature measuring climate change and having direct consequences on
marine ecosystems Many data are crucial for climate and seasonal forecasting
Climate Change service supports analysis on environmental and societal challenges
associated with human-induced climate changes Provides information for monitoring
and predicting climate change to support adaptation and mitigation strategies
The service will provide access to several climate indicators (eg temperature increase
sea level rise ice sheet melting warming up of the ocean) and climate indices (eg
based on records of temperature precipitation drought event) for both the
identified climate drivers and the expected climate impacts
bull Protection of CH (including environment) and economic assets is key to societal well being
and economic growth
bull CH structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by post-disaster measures
bull Disasters are most often caused by unappropriated land use management and unappropriated
building codes rather than to natural events
bull Investing in DRR (both structural and non structural measures) is paying back by large
Appropriate environmental monitoring land use planning adoption of appropriate building
(and retrofitting) codes raising of risk awareness active participation of public and private
stakeholders at national and local level are preliminary conditions to achieve DRR
bull Needs are already there and solutions are self paid by investments on resilience
Science and Technology must play a relevant role in gathering evidence identifying
solutions and implementing the way forward to DRR and sustainable future

Examples from the present
The Venice Port Authority has indicated that the income and employment generated by cruise
tourism is indispensable to the city ndash cruise ship passengers alone are said to spend up to
EUR 150 million in Venice each year (Comitato Cruise Venice)
ldquoClimate change is one of the most significant risks
for World Heritage to emerge since the adoption of
the World Heritage Convention in 1972rdquo
Venice is now under assault from rapidly growing tourist numbers as well as worsening climate
driven water damage to the buildings and architectural and monumental heritage that draw
visitors in the first place Ironically tourism is responsible for thousands of Venetian jobs and
tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the city and its businesses but the effects of climate
must be addressed if the historic centre is to survive at all and tourism must be better controlled if
Venice is to remain a thriving and diverse community
UNESCO report
World Heritage
and Tourism in a
Changing Climate
The value of preserving historic buildings is increasingly accepted by
society which not only recognizes built cultural heritage as a part of its
identity but is also more cognizant of its economic value
In Europe tourism accounts for 10 percent of the GDP in the
EU and 12 percent of employment (Paulo b Lourenccedilo 2006)
Studies indicate that
bull investment in measures to reduce the vulnerability of buildings yields an average value of four
times the amount invested
bull Retrofitting of buildings to increase earthquake resilience offers a cost-benefit of up to eight times
the value of the investment
In the case of built cultural heritage the structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by
post-disaster measures
Earthquakes occur randomly and they can be larger than those anticipated in safety regulations it is
therefore necessary to take steps in advance that can reduce the risk of damage and promote
subsequent recovery

Science and Technology Conference
On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR
bull The support from the science and technology community should include
bull the assessment and analysis of hazards consequences of cascading risks
development and validation of applied tools and standards
bull the design and use of new technologies
bull a range of education and communication roles
bull The main mechanism to accelerate use of science and technology for DRR is a lsquopartnership
approachrsquo to help bring scientists from different disciplines and regions together and to
connect them to practitioners and decision makers There is a need to create andor
strengthen national disaster risk reduction science-policy councilsplatforms
bull The Conference underlined the need for better accessibility to lsquohigh qualityrsquo data on multi-
hazard risk exposure and vulnerability capacities and disaster loss and impact
bull Support to open access and open-source data platforms standard approaches in data
collection and mapping and a common operating system was underlined The role of the
private sector in these efforts can be further enhanced
bull The participants identified the more systematic collection and management of data as a
priority including the need to integrate data collected by other mechanisms (such as
crowd-sourcing remote earth observations and geo-spatial data) into formal national systems

Science and Technology Conference
On the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR
Priorities for DRR research were identified
bull Understanding risk this includes systematic risk assessments and profiling and studies on
underlying drivers of risk
bull Documenting and analysing the effects and impact evaluation of disasters and of disaster risk
reduction measures
bull The Conference called on knowledge centers and hubs of excellence to foster DRR in
science and connect with decision makers
bull Technological innovations need to be made accessible and applied to measure and reduce
bull disaster risk
bull Earth observation satellite data for DRR as well as in-situ observations and crowd-sourced
data are opportunities to use technology to support regular monitoring of disaster risk
exposure and vulnerability Such systems also provide technological support to people-
centred low cost multi-hazards early warning systems
bull Participants identified accessible technological innovation for communication education
and capacity building as a priority This includes training of decision-makers on how to use
available technologies (eg satellite imagery)

Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities
Top priority understanding risk due to natural and technical hazards gathering evidence
of changes through continuous monitoring
atmosphere monitoring service supports many applications in a variety of domains
including change detection environmental monitoring and climatology to be used
for risk assessment
land monitoring service provides geographical information on land cover and on
variables related to the vegetation state or the water cycle It supports applications in a
variety of domains such as spatial planning forest management water management
agriculture and food security
Added value of Copernicus Services in DRR activities
Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic
reference information on the physical state variability and dynamics of the ocean
and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas including
water quality monitoring and pollution control sea level rise and coastal erosion sea
surface temperature measuring climate change and having direct consequences on
marine ecosystems Many data are crucial for climate and seasonal forecasting
Climate Change service supports analysis on environmental and societal challenges
associated with human-induced climate changes Provides information for monitoring
and predicting climate change to support adaptation and mitigation strategies
The service will provide access to several climate indicators (eg temperature increase
sea level rise ice sheet melting warming up of the ocean) and climate indices (eg
based on records of temperature precipitation drought event) for both the
identified climate drivers and the expected climate impacts
bull Protection of CH (including environment) and economic assets is key to societal well being
and economic growth
bull CH structures are invaluable and cannot be reconstituted by post-disaster measures
bull Disasters are most often caused by unappropriated land use management and unappropriated
building codes rather than to natural events
bull Investing in DRR (both structural and non structural measures) is paying back by large
Appropriate environmental monitoring land use planning adoption of appropriate building
(and retrofitting) codes raising of risk awareness active participation of public and private
stakeholders at national and local level are preliminary conditions to achieve DRR
bull Needs are already there and solutions are self paid by investments on resilience
Science and Technology must play a relevant role in gathering evidence identifying
solutions and implementing the way forward to DRR and sustainable future
