News Global Parametrics joins GEM to develop open earthquake models for use in catastrophe modelling By: Oct 7, 2019 Share Facebook LinkedIn GEM welcomes Global Parametrics (GP) as Advisor Sponsor. GP is an innovative insurance solutions provider and risk manager with a focus on developing countries and underserved sectors. Launched in July of 2016 with support from Germany’s KfW via the InsuResilience Investment Fund, and the UK's Department for International Development, Global Parametrics aims to redefine the market for disaster preparedness and response through alternative risk transfer, emerging market finance, climate and seismic modelling, asset management, startups and public-private partnerships. “GEM is happy to collaborate with Global Parametrics because of our shared interest and commitment to use open data and transparent earthquake risk analysis tools such as GEM’s OpenQuake engine, to develop financial and insurance products to help small and micro financial institutions in times of disasters,'' John Schneider, GEM Secretary General. Global Parametrics CEO, Hector Ibarra was one of the guest speakers during the launch of GEM’s Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk maps in December 2018 in Pavia, Italy. He presented an overview of Global Parametrics’ vision and current work program. “We are proud to be part of the GEM family. We believe that our collaboration to develop open models and to promote transparency in risk assessment can broaden our reach and help address the insurance protection gap in developing countries as well as provide more security to institutions, risk aggregators and SMEs (small and medium enterprises) that provide services to poor and vulnerable populations in emerging markets,” Hector Ibarra, CEO Global Parametrics. About Global Parametrics GP is an innovative public-private approach that secures early access to capital and timely financing when disaster strikes. It designs and deploys structured financial solutions for institutional clients in emerging markets. The provision of these services contributes to a virtuous circle of more resilient businesses, communities and economies. Global Parametrics is supported by leading players in the public and private sectors. The first seed investments were provided by KfW’s InsuResilience Investment Fund and the UK’s Department for International Development. No images found. GALLERY 1/0 VIDEO RELATED CONTENTS

News Big boost to global risk management with the launch of UNDRR GRAF By: May 23, 2019 Share Facebook LinkedIn GRAF launch at GP2019 Geneva. Photo credit: Gabriela Nobre The UNDRR successfully launched the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF) during the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction 2019 (GP2019) Forum held from 13 – 17 May in Geneva, Switzerland. It is one of the key outcomes of the GP2019 multi-stakeholder Forum. GRAF is a new international framework for developing and sharing risk information and promoting a pro-active culture of risk-informed decision-making. Its objective is to improve the understanding and management of current and future risks, at all scales, to better manage uncertainties and mobilize people, innovation and finance. The GRAF was conceived through a 32-person expert group convened by the UNDRR, with individuals representing the science community, data providers, modellers and risk managers across public and private sectors as well as special interest groups such as youth tasked to help UNISDR develop a comprehensive approach to understanding risk and to apply risk knowledge to generate practical solutions for reducing risk and increasing resilience. Central to this challenge is to create a global collaborative framework for developing, sharing and using risk information across hazards, disciplines, and geographic scales (i.e, global to local), leveraging existing institutions and collaboration frameworks and addressing the systemic nature of risk and its cascading effects. GRAF has four working groups, one of which is Mapping & Gap Analysis, co-chaired by GEM Secretary General, John Schneider and Governing Board Member, John Rees (British Geological Survey). The working group is providing expert advice to GRAF on understanding stakeholder needs as risk assessment information providers and users. “The GRAF is great opportunity to bring cohesion to the risk assessment community to help national governments in support of Sendai risk indicators and targets.” said John Schneider, GEM Secretary General. He added, “GEM is proud of its contributions to the successful establishment and launching of GRAF. We will continue to support GRAF to ensure risk information is shared and promoted to build a pro-active culture of risk-informed decision-making.” Ms. Gabriela Guimarães Nobre, Representative of the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth moderated the presentation of GRAF on 16thMay to an appreciative audience with high expectations. Session speakers included Mr. David Green, Program Manager, Disaster Applications for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, United States of America; Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr., Undersecretary, Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Philippines; Dr. Kirsten Dunlop, Chief Executive Officer Climate-KIC; Ms. Kathy Baughman McLeod, Senior Vice President Bank of America; and Mr. Aromar Revi, Director, Indian Institute for Human Settlements; and Co-Chair, UNSDSN. The 4th Meeting of the Expert Group will be held in November 2019 to map the Framework’s plan of action in the years ahead.

Back to Bangladesh Outcomes Bangladesh Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment The seismic hazard modelling and mapping section describes the approach taken to assess the seismic hazard in Bangladesh with the goal of creating a comprehensive seismic hazard model for Bangladesh that can be used for risk assessment and mitigation. The project started with a probabilistic seismic hazard model for the Indian subcontinent, which was updated and implemented for the OpenQuake engine. The model includes seismogenic source models, ground motion models, and considers various tectonic regions. This section also mentions the review of the seismic source model for northeast India and the improvements made to the model.

News GEM shares approach in earthquake hazard and risk assessment at the 2017 Global Platform For Disaster Risk Reduction By: Jul 2, 2018 Share Facebook LinkedIn John Rees of the British Geological Survey and GEM Governing Board member presented GEM at the 2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction held in Cancun, Mexico from May 22-26. GEM’s work on earthquake hazard and risk assessment was presented during the Sendai Framework Priority 1: Understanding Disaster Risk session. The participation was aimed to contribute to the discussions on practical examples regarding the use of open data platforms that present geo-referenced earthquake risk information and exposure data in open source and interoperable formats. In particular, GEM shared the cost effectiveness and the multiple sustainable development benefits of such open risk data platforms for the public and private sector. GEM reaffirmed its commitment to continue developing tools and products, promoting open access and open source risk assessment applications, and advancing earthquake science to help achieve disaster risk reduction globally. The Fifth Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction took place from 24 to 26 May 2017 in Cancun Mexico. With the Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs) as backdrop, the program and deliberations of the Global Platform reflected the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. The 2017 Global Platform marks the first event after the adoption of the Sendai Framework in 2015. No images found. GALLERY 1/0 VIDEO RELATED CONTENTS
