FUTURE WORK
Since 2009, GEM has led a global effort to improve the state of practice of earthquake hazard and risk assessment. GEM has developed open global databases, models and the OpenQuake software, and developed capacity for risk assessment worldwide.
What role will GEM play as the risk landscape and associated demand evolve between now and 2030?

Our Goal
Integrated risk and resilience solutions
With loss from natural catastrophic events projected to reach up to $2trn by 2030 (RMS, 2022) due to increasing global population, rapid urbanisation and extreme weather events, GEM’s strategic plan roadmap to 2030 aims to deliver integrated risk and resilience solutions in line with the Sendai Framework and Sustainable Development Goals to address this challenge.

COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK
working within the disaster risk reduction ecosystem
A schematic of GEM’s place within the disaster risk reduction ecosystem. It illustrates GEM’s relationships to product users and stakeholders in the broader disaster risk reduction community. Framing the ecosystem are the global drivers and GEM principles, which guide GEM’s overall direction and strategy toward its goal of a world that is resilient to earthquakes and other hazards.

STRATEGIC PLAN
AND ROADMAP TO 2030
GEM’s overall objective to 2030 is to develop capabilities and to serve the broader need for integrated risk assessment for resilience and sustainability due to globally increasing vulnerability and exposure of populations to natural hazards, including from climate change.
