The EU-funded ‘Enhancing risk management partnerships for catastrophic natural hazards in Europe’ (ENHANCE) has now officially ended. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The project focused on developing and analysing new ways to enhance society’s resilience to catastrophic natural disasters. It provided new scenarios and information on disaster risk and contribute to the development of new multi-sector partnerships to reduce or redistribute risk. To find out more about the ENHANCE project visit the official website.<\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/p>\n

Swenja Surminski<\/a>, Senior Research Fellow, led the private sector and insurance component of the project, collaborating with project partners, including businesses, on the sections about economic instruments and on public and private partnerships.<\/p>\n

As part of this work Swenja led a UK case study that assessed multi-sector partnerships in London. This work was in collaboration with Professor Jim Hall at Oxford University and combined qualitative as well as quantitative assessments. The two partnerships under investigation were the UK Flood Insurance Partnership and the London Climate Change Partnership.<\/p>\n
