We are an interdisciplinary team of risk researchers dedicated to building a comprehensive foundation for understanding how to mitigate and manage risks effectively. Our core areas of focus include:

• Analysing how impacts cascade through various domains of societal well-being, such as health, economy, and environment.
• Developing effective strategies for risk communication and community engagement, ensuring that stakeholders are well-informed and empowered to make informed decisions.
• Embracing adaptive planning approaches to navigate uncertainties and respond proactively to emerging challenges.
• Identifying and implementing risk management strategies that avoid maladaptation and unintended consequences, while uncovering win-win solutions through strategic interventions.
• Enhancing the built environment to maximise environmental sustainability and community well-being, creating resilient and thriving communities.

We collaborate closely with communities across New Zealand, co-producing tailored approaches that support their unique needs and empower them to thrive in the face of future challenges. Through our interdisciplinary expertise and community-driven approach, we strive to create a safer, more resilient, and sustainable future for all.
