Report series on Intersectionality and Emerging Risks


Over the course of 2025, our research will delve into the interplay between intersectionality and emerging risks, focusing on how overlapping vulnerabilities and capacities shape the experiences of hyper-marginalised groups. Building on 2024's exploration of intersectionality in disaster contexts, this agenda will expand to address the impacts of new and evolving threats such as pandemics, advancements in artificial intelligence, cascading climate events, and socio-political shifts.


New reports will be launched throughout the year.
