Droughts can cause forest fires or food and water shortages. When it rains heavily on the dried soil, floods can occur, making shortages worse or triggering the outbreak of diseases. Risks don’t come in the singular. They are interconnected. They can trigger or amplify each other. In today’s world, nature, health, and the economy rely on each other. Being able to anticipate how risks interact is essential in preventing and mitigating disasters.
MYRIAD-EU’s mission is to catalyse a paradigm shift in how risks are currently assessed and managed. Instead of addressing risks and hazards one by one, leading scientists from across Europe will co-develop the first harmonised framework for multi-hazard, multi-sector, and systemic risk management. The interlinkages between the different hazards and economic sectors will be studied in 5 pilots.
Pilots
The pilots in the North Sea, on the Canary Islands, in Scandinavia, the Danube region and in Italy’s Veneto region are central to MYRIAD-EU. They serve as laboratories for systemic multi-hazard risk assessment and management. Each pilot focuses on the connections between different risks and at least 3 of the following economic sectors:
Ecosystems & forestry
Energy
Finance
Food & agriculture
Infrastructure and transport
Tourism
Systemic risk interdependencies throughout Europe

Challenge
How can spatial planning at the interface of the land and sea environments be optimised in the face of increasing and interrelated risk?
How can we maintain healthy ecosystems under climate-related risks while meeting increasing demands for energy, food, and other ecosystem services, and what is the role of nature-based solutions
