Workshop "Mapping Environmental Vulnerabilities: Data, Space, and Risk"
Roma Tre University, 24 September 2025
We invite submissions for the first workshop on "Mapping Environmental Vulnerabilities: Data, Space, and Risk", organized within the ERICE project and the GRINS research framework. The workshop will explore data- and space-driven approaches to environmental risk, resilience, and policy design.
We particularly welcome contributions on environmental risk mapping, geo-spatial analysis, climate adaptation, and circular economy strategies.
Submission deadline: July 20, 2025
Submit your extended abstract (500–1000 words) here

This special issue, organised in collaboration with the Italian Association of Environmental and Resource Economics (IAERE), aims to address the pressing challenges posed by natural hazards, disasters and extreme climate and weather events from an economic and policy perspective. As the frequency and intensity of these events (such as droughts, extreme cold, flooding, heatwaves, hurricanes, storms, etc.) continue to escalate, understanding how to mitigate their devastating impacts is more urgent than ever.
We invite contributions exploring key topics including risk assessment methodologies, resilience strategies, and recovery mechanisms aimed at reducing the societal and economic costs of natural hazards. We welcome studies examining the intersection of extreme events with climate change, economic development, human health, infrastructure, biodiversity, and ecosystems at local, regional, national and global scales.
We also welcome articles presenting innovative tools and methods for predicting, monitoring, and managing risk, alongside research on governance capacities, planning and adaptation strategies to foster sustainable and resilient communities. Of particular interest are contributions that investigate barriers to effective disaster response (such as coordination challenges across policy levels and gaps in adaptation and mitigation efforts) and propose alternatives to enhance resilience.
By bringing together rigorous theoretical and empirical research, this special issue aims to provide valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners committed to building societies better equipped to respond to and recover from extreme events.
Key themes include, but are not limited to:
Risk assessment and early warning systems
Socioeconomic impacts and recovery strategies
Barriers to effective disaster response and coordination
Climate adaptation and mitigation efforts
Cross-regional and sectoral comparisons
Innovative tools and methods for monitoring and managing natural hazards
Critical tasks and administrative capacities in disaster management: lessons for future capacity building
Open for submission from: 1 March 2025
Submission deadline: 30 June 2025
