Strong roots, strong women (2021-2023)

Evaluating Germany's Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Practice (Eval-MAP 2), WP Adaptation to flood risks. (BMBF, Laufzeit 12/2018-11/2021).

Understanding the dynamics of human behaviour towards flooding using panel data, in-house project.

Completed projects:

Ecology and Gender Based Flood Resilience Building in Thua Thien Hue,Central Vietnam (ResilNam - coastal) (Global Resilience Partnership, Water Window, Laufzeit: 02/2017 bis 07/2018)

The project aims to enhance flood resilience in coastal communities by strengthening the role of women in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation through ecosystem-based adaptation, including the restoration, conservation and sustainable management of mangroves in Southeast Asia’s largest lagoon.

Ecology and Gender Based Flood Resilience Building in Thua Thien Hue,Central Vietnam (ResilNam - urban)
(Global Resilience Partnership, Water Window, Laufzeit: 02/2017 bis 07/2018)

To enhance the flood resilience of urban communities, the project will work towards the restoration, conservation and sustainable management of natural retention and drainage areas in Hue City, central Vietnam. These bottom-up nature-based solutions will provide a means to strengthen the role of women in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. Together with local and regional authorities and stakeholders from civil society, the project seeks to overcome existing gender differences that make women especially vulnerable to the negative impacts of floods.

ENHANCE – Enhancing risk management partnerships for catastrophic natural disasters in Europe
(EU 7. Forschungsrahmenprogramm; Laufzeit: 12/2012 bis 11/2016)

Im Verbundprojekt ENHANCE untersucht die Arbeitsgruppe zusammen mit der österreichischen Firma ORT und den Österreichischen Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) beispielhaft, wie Eisenbahninfrastrukturen durch Naturgefahren geschädigt und wie Strategien zum Naturgefahrenmanagement gestärkt werden können. Im Projekt wird insbesondere die Rolle von Multi-Sektoralen Partnerschaften (MSP) beim Management von Naturgefahren betrachtet.
