The need to develop sustainable local government policies that take account of natural hazards resulted in the launch of RiskCat on the International Day for Disaster Reduction, in Barcelona in October 2007.

RiskCat is a new Catalan collaborative research project on land use and planning. It will assess the institutional capacity of Catalonia’s local government to cope with natural hazards, and will provide recommendations on how to develop sustainable land policy that deals with regional hazard risks better.

RiskCat is a joint initiative of the University of Barcelona and the Advisory Body for Sustainable Development of the Catalan Government (CADS).
