climate change

This article dives into the use of the Federated Learning (FL) technique as a solution for Natural Disaster Management for prevention and mitigation of its effects.

This article explores how technology can improve natural disaster management in Finland, making a connection with European areas that, like Finland, were historically less bound to experience natural disaster but that are now facing issues as consequence of climate change.

A summary of: Aalto, J. and Venäläinen, A. (eds.), Climate change and forest management affect forest fire risk in Fennoscandia. (pp. 17-27). Finnish Meteorological Institute Reports 2021: 3. This report discusses the impact of climate change on forest fire management in Fennoscandia, with accelerated warming leading to increased fire risks and larger-scale fires. Effective fire prevention policies, forest management practices, and reductions in black carbon emissions are crucial for mitigating the consequences of climate change on forest fires. Proposed solutions include cooperation, enhanced tracking, and community education to improve forest fire management in the region.

The climate is quickly changing. Almost every day we are informed by television and newspapers about a natural disaster. Just to mention what happened this summer, Greece [1] is enduring the hottest July of the last 50 years due to a heatwave longer than six days. Northern Italy [2] is living in a different situation. Hail as big as tennis balls, winds as fast as a supercar. The Milan sky became dark at midday and the hinterland was affected by a tornado. The Mediterranean [11] Sea reached its highest ever recorded temperature at over 28.71c, beating the previous record of 28.25C set in 2003. The summer will still have much to say.
