Nominations are now open for the 2023 RISK Award which is looking for project proposals in the field of climate resilience and early warning.
The 2023 RISK Award reflects a combined approach from three major UN frameworks, namely the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change 2015. They especially invite non-profit organisations, NGOs, but also academic institutions, and local communities to apply with their non-profit projects on this topic.
The risks posed by population development, and environmental and climate change are increasing. Complex technical systems and infrastructure are additional risk factors. The RISK Award partners recognise the need to address this development. The RISK Award has been set up to help improve risk reduction and disaster management by providing financial support to projects dedicated to these issues.
