Belmont Forum - RESILIENCE: Vulnerability and resilience management for socio-environmental systems in exposed territories

The Belmont Forum, an international partnership of research funding organizations of which ANR is a member, is launching a call for proposals in the area of risk science. The call, entitled “Resilience”, is designed to foster transdisciplinary research around vulnerability and resilience management for socio-environmental systems in exposed territories.

Taking inspiration from the recent COVID-19 pandemic crisis, this new Collaborative Research Action (CRA), called RESILIENCE, builds upon DR3 CRA of the Belmont Forum and aims at defining and promoting "new" risks management concepts that better account for global change and for rapidly changing relations between societies and nature. Expected outcomes include risk science developments in line with sustainability science, co-production of knowledge, a focus on highly vulnerable territories, informed governance, and the rise of a new generation of scientists and stakeholders able to better cope with ever-rising environmental risks.

Focus Areas

The call will invite proposals that address at least two of the following areas:

• Area 1: Better assess risks of increasing complexity with global change
• Area 2: Pay specific attention to exacerbated vulnerabilities in highly exposed territories
• Area 3: Develop innovative solutions for Disaster Risk Reduction
