Risk and Resilience Portal

A multi-hazard risk assessment and visualization platform designed to support evidence-based disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate resilience planning, and policy decision-making through integrated risk analytics

Note: Primarily climate risk context, rather than forecast timescales (limited S2S/seasonal functionality)

Link To DSS: https://rrp.unescap.org/

Developer: UN ESCAP

Stage Of Maturity: Operational, Continuously evolving

Coverage: Regional (Asia-Pacific)

Climate Timescales Covered: Historical / Baseline, Long-term / Climate Change Projections, Real-time / Near Real-time Monitoring

Strengths

Integrates hazard, exposure, and vulnerability into a unified risk framework
Strong support for policy and investment decision-making
Regional comparability across countries in Asia-Pacific
User-friendly visualization for non-technical stakeholders
Enables multi-sectoral analysis (infrastructure, population, economy)
Useful for identifying risk hotspots and prioritization areas

Weaknesses

Limited real-time or forecast-based functionality (not an operational climate service tool)
Resolution may be too coarse for local-level planning
Limited direct linkage to NMHS-generated forecasts
Does not provide tailored sector advisories or actionable triggers
Requires contextual interpretation for decision-making at national/local scales

Synergies

Complements forecasting tools (e.g., seasonal/S2S systems) by translating hazards into risk
Can be integrated with climate projection tools (e.g., IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas) to assess future risk scenarios
Supports Impact-Based Forecasting (IBF) by providing exposure and vulnerability layers
Can enhance national DSS platforms by supplying baseline risk datasets
Useful in linking climate information to Early Action Protocols (EAPs) and financing mechanisms
