Att hantera sårbarhet inför hydrometeorologiska naturhändelser i Sverige

The HydroHazards project (2020–2024) investigates the cumulative and interactive effects of multiple hydrometeorological hazards on Sweden's critical infrastructure, essential services, and population. It argues that traditional risk analyses, which focus on single events, overlook dangerous connections and domino effects. The project employs a transdisciplinary approach across three work packages to analyze exposed locations, differentiated vulnerabilities among social groups, and future risk scenarios under climate change.

• The combination of two smaller natural hazards can result in significantly worse outcomes than a single large-scale event, necessitating research into multiple hazards as a supplement to existing studies.
• While Sweden and other Nordic countries are among the least vulnerable societies globally due to stable welfare systems, adapting disaster risk reduction systems to changes in the physical environment and economy caused by climate change remains a challenge.
• Effective disaster risk reduction in Sweden requires assessing current and future social vulnerabilities, as historical documentation of water-related disasters is limited because events were typically not viewed as catastrophic unless they caused deaths or severe economic loss.
