Agenda Overview
For five days, we will meet in-person at our main UR22 location, the city of Florianópolis, Brazil (Main Hub), and virtually via an online platform. Smaller ‘UR22 Satellite Hubs’ will also take place in other continents, offering in-person programming for the local audience and connecting to the global streaming. This year’s theme, “Riding the waves of risk,” focuses on climate and disaster risks in a multi-hazard world. To better understand risk, prevent disasters from happening, and build resilience, UR22 will explore the space where these multi-hazards collide and how disaster impacts cascade in unpredictable ways.
