Mission
The mission of the International Science Council is to act as the global voice for science. As part of that mission, the ISC:
- Speaks for the value of all science and evidence-informed decision-making;
- Stimulates and supports international scientific research and scholarship on major issues of global concern;
- Articulates scientific knowledge on such issues in the public domain;
- Promotes the continued and equal advancement of scientific rigour, creativity and relevance in all parts of the world;
- Defends the free and responsible practice of science.
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

The UNDRR and ISC are undertaking a review of the Hazard Information Profiles (HIPs) to enhance their relevance and usability in disaster risk reduction efforts, particularly in multi-hazard contexts.
This second Risk Dialogue will explore implications for governance at the national and international levels. The Global Risk Dialogues will bring together global experts and practitioners to discuss what this means, in practice.
The Global Risk Dialogues will bring together global experts and practitioners to discuss what this means, in practice. The first Risk Dialogue on 13 November 2023 will focus on implications for risk research.
This briefing note answers these questions by identifying the hazards that, once paired with corresponding vulnerabilities and exposures, would escalate and cause global and existential catastrophes.
This event will provide a platform for a dialogue on how diverse knowledge systems can be applied in order to better identify and address the systemic nature of risk in the context of rapid technological change.
El riesgo de desastres siempre ha sido sistémico y entender el riesgo en esos términos debe convertirse en la "nueva normalidad". Ningún enfoque aislado es adecuado; en su lugar, se necesitan enfoques más amplios y complejos.
Disaster risk has always been systemic and understanding risk in those terms must become the ‘new normal'. No single approach is adequate, given the complex and uncertain nature of risk; instead, 'toolbox approaches' are needed
This Briefing Note provides a review of systemic risk science and practice , and identifies opportunities for research, policy and practice from the perspective of climate, environmental and disaster risk science and management.
