The Risk & Crisis Management (R4I) Special Interest Group focuses on understanding and mitigating societal and sustainability-related risks, including climate change impacts. The group also researches how communities, including governments and businesses, can respond to these and other emergencies. The group impacts business and society by providing research-informed methodologies and frameworks for national-level risk assessment and emergency management. This approach not only strengthens Ireland's public safety but also contributes to wider European resilience, aligning with the EU's Disaster Resilience Goals, OECD risk reduction, and NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme. The group’s research has been presented to national and international bodies, including the OECD - High-Level Risk Forum in Geneva and the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning. This work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 11: Building Resilient & Sustainable Communities.
