Looking back at the events in Blatten, the webinar will bring together insights from the scientific community, including the potential roles of climate change, and insights from the application of integrated risk management to this emergency. The presentation of a case from a less developed country will lead us to a discussion on what good practices and lessons learned could be used in developing countries.
