Part of the 8th International Convention on Environment and Development, the 3rd International colloquium (4-8 July): 'Assessment of danger, vulnerability and risks for disasters reduction' is aimed at specialists, academics, managers and people involved with natural, technological and sanitary hazards.

Objectives:

Share experiences on hazard assessments, vulnerability and disaster risks, with emphasis on small island states and coastal ecosystems from the effects of climate change, tropical storms and other extreme events, regression of the shoreline, among other threats. At the heart of the debate within the many topics we have chosen the following three topics transcendental:

• Hazard, vulnerability and risk: approaches, studies, indicators, methodologies and new technologies.
• Environmental management and risk management.
• Disaster risk and adaptation to climate change: policies, strategies, research and management. Technological and sanitary risks are included too.
