To better understand and prepare for complex risks, the United Nations has conducted a risk perception survey on 1,300 stakeholders across 155 countries.

This guidance note outlines practical approaches to strengthening information integrity within risk communication–before, during, and after disasters. Preparing for and managing information risks is an integral part of disaster risk reduction efforts.

Using AI to analyse 120 years of newspaper coverage produces a new index of uncertainty about a country's core institutions, and in the countries studied, nearly every major shift in democracy happened when this index was high. Because it detects slow-building uncertainty that other risk measures miss, the index could serve as an early warning of institutional fragility.

Explore how local humanitarian actors are using AI, the opportunities and risks of its adoption, and what this means for locally led humanitarian action.

Refugee and citizenship archives preserve some of the most important records of human experience, documenting displacement, resilience, and identity. They are invaluable resources for researchers, archivists, activists, policymakers, and refugee communities themselves. Yet these collections are often vulnerable.

This event brings together researchers, archivists, and practitioners working with refugee and citizenship records to explore both the value and the fragility of these collections. Drawing on experiences from the UNHCR Archives, the Living Refugee Archive, and The National Archives' own collections, speakers will discuss how collections are created, preserved, and used, as well as the challenges faced.

Through presentations and panel discussion, we will consider how archives can support research, public engagement, and community memory while navigating the sensitivities that often accompany histories of human experience, reflecting on the role archives play in shaping our understanding of migration, humanitarian action, and lived experience across time.

Rivers across the globe in 2025 had one of the driest years in more than three decades. The WMO State of Global Water Resources Report shows a continuation of the long-term decline in Earth’s freshwater storage and in glacier retreat.The water cycle has also become more erratic and unpredictable, swinging between too little or too much. The past seven years have seen the fewest rivers with “normal” flows since 1991.Asia and Africa together accounted for at least half of all recorded water-related extreme events and more than 80% of reported associated deaths over the past five years, it says.The report provides a comprehensive, science-based assessment of the entire water cycle loop, including river discharge, groundwater, evapotranspiration, land water storage, and snow and ice, as well as high-impact events.
