D3.4 Final report on forward-looking DRM pathways and recommendations for upscaling and transferability

The MYRIAD-EU project developed a systemic framework and a toolkit for multi-risk, multi-sector, and multi-scale Disaster Risk Management (DRM), tested across five diverse European Pilot Studies: North Sea, Canary Islands, Scandinavia, Danube, and Veneto. Between March 2022 and August 2025, each Pilot followed a co-designed, stepwise process to map hazards and vulnerabilities, select and apply tailored tools, and develop sets of forward-looking DRM pathways tailored to their multi-risk and multi-sector profile. The report illustrates both the final results and the methodological foundations and knowledge co-production process that led to those results. The report also discusses the various choices and assumptions made in each Pilot Study, the obstacles encountered, and the lessons learnt along the way. For instance, key findings highlight the importance of contextualizing tools, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, and engaging stakeholders throughout, whereas governance fragmentation, data gaps, and limited systemic risk awareness emerged as common challenges. The MYRIAD-EU Pilot Studies serve as lighthouses for other European regions facing similar challenges and aiming to transition towards integrated, systemic multi-risk management.
