In the management and governance of both natural and technological hazards and risks, understanding of multi-hazard and multisector risks is becoming increasingly relevant – and challenging, as acknowledged in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and more recently, translated into the European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR) Roadmap 2021-2030, among other DRR-related strategies.  Extreme weather-events, many of which are in turn hydro-meteorological events (floods, droughts, landslides or storms), are increasing due to the changing climate. More intense and more frequent extreme whether events may have cascading effects, triggering technological disasters. A clear governance response to climate change in the context of technological risks is still to be developed in many countries. This session will discuss challenges and good examples of how countries and organizations worldwide address the link between climate change, natural hazards and technological risk management in transboundary lakes and river basins, with a focus on governance.
